About Manuchar
Manuchar strongly believes in the value of long-term partnerships. We aim to build a strong and sustainable business that enables other companies to be successful in emerging markets. This long-term view explains our systematic investments in infrastructure and teams in strategic locations in emerging markets. We believe local presence and proximity are essential to build lasting relationships. Our entrepreneurial spirit ensures that we remain agile.
In 1985 Manuchar was incorporated into the activities of A. Maas & Co, a group founded in 1880 which evolved into a strong logistics group over the years. In 2022 Lone Star Funds entered as new majority shareholder, alongside Manuchar's management. This partnership marks a new milestone in building Manuchar’s leading chemical distribution platform across emerging markets with the aim to further strengthen its global network, both geographically and in product offering.
Our Values
Our values clarify what Manuchar really stands for. They form the “identity” or the DNA of our company. We believe that they are important for our long-term success. This means that our values should influence or even drive everything we do as a company, as a Manuchar team or as a team member. They are defined as the attitudes and behaviors that we “value” most in our company.
