AMSilk Expands Distribution Network With Two New Sales Partners Zeus Química And Biochim
Planegg, June 07, 2016 – AMSilk GmbH, the world's first industrial supplier of synthetic silk biopolymers, has gained two new distribution partners to complete the company’s distribution network for Europe: Starting May 2016, Zeus Química S.A.U., headquartered in Barcelona, is responsible for the sales of AMSilk products in Spain and Portugal while Biochim s.r.l., which is based near Milan, covers the distribution in Italy.
“We are excited to have won the two new distribution partners Zeus Química and Biochim. We are successfully implementing our growth strategy by expanding our international distribution network.
