AOC and BÜFA Expand Cooperation
AOC and BÜFA are expanding their existing cooperation in distribution to Southeast Europe through BÜFA Composites Austria. This agreement will give customers in the region better access to a wide range of quality resins, gelcoats and ancillaries.
BÜFA
Composite Systems has been purchasing resins from AOC for over 50 years and making them into specialty reactive resin specialties and complete solutions. In addition, the companies have sales and distribution partnerships based on many years in many European countries.
