Kandelium GmbH

Kandelium GmbH is a German company specializing in technical-grade chemical solutions, notably barium carbonate, strontium carbonate, and sodium percarbonate, serving various applications in cleaning and personal care industries. Kandelium GmbH produces chemical solutions tailored for diverse industrial applications. The company was involved in a significant deal in December 2020, when Latour Capital acquired the barium, strontium, and sodium percarbonate businesses from Solvay SA, bolstering Kandelium's market position. The CEO of Kandelium is Daniel Meyer, who leads the company in its international operations from its headquarters in Germany.

Kandelium specializes in the production of technical-grade chemical solutions, primarily focusing on barium carbonate, strontium carbonate, and sodium percarbonate. Their flagship products, branded under OXYPER®, serve diverse applications including laundry detergents, personal care items, disinfectants, and water treatment solutions. The company’s sodium percarbonates are uniquely coated to enhance safety during use and storage, making them suitable for a wide range of end users, from manufacturers in the cleaning and personal care sectors to industrial applications in water treatment. Kandelium’s products are distributed globally, serving clients across various markets including North America, Europe, and Asia, where they cater to both manufacturers and distributors in need of high-quality chemical ingredients.

With over 130 years of experience, Kandelium’s commitment to quality ensures they meet the specific needs of their customer base through tailored solutions. Kandelium operates on a B2B model, providing customized chemical solutions to manufacturers worldwide. The revenue generated stems from direct transactions with clients who require precision-engineered products for their production processes. Pricing structures typically involve bulk orders of their core offerings, such as barium and strontium carbonate, alongside their signature sodium percarbonate products.

This transactional approach allows Kandelium to maintain long-term partnerships with clients across various industries, ensuring that they provide products that meet stringent quality standards. The company emphasizes reliability and timely delivery, which are critical factors in their revenue generation strategy, as they align their manufacturing capabilities with the specific demands and schedules of their clients. Kandelium plans to leverage its recent acquisition by Latour Capital to support growth initiatives, including the development of new technical-grade chemical products. The company is focusing on expanding its market presence into North America and Asia by 2023, aiming to capture new business in these regions.

The funding from the acquisition will provide the necessary resources to enhance product development and market outreach.
