Hromatka Group and Evonik Expand Their Strategic Distribution Alliance

Hromatka Group and Evonik are expanding their collaboration, a long-standing and successful partnership in the engineering plastics sector. Both companies announced this alliance ahead of K 2025. With this official distribution agreement, covering Europe and parts of North Africa, the leading engineering polymer distributor and the main PA12 producer aim to ensure reliable supply to demanding companies across multiple sectors — from automotive and mechanical engineering to electronics and consumer goods — while jointly developing high-quality polyamide 12 solutions.

For Hromatka Group, a family-owned company with subsidiaries and offices throughout Europe — including AGI – Augusto Guimarães & Irmão — this strategic expansion of cooperation represents another step in the consistent and sustainable diversification of its extensive product portfolio, which includes Evonik’s high-performance polyamides: VESTAMID® and TROGAMID®.

Accordingly, the Portuguese company of the group, AGI – Augusto Guimarães & Irmão, is the official distribution partner of Evonik’s PA12 compounds in Portugal. “Evonik’s know-how, combined with our experience and comprehensive project development and logistics services, is an essential element for continuing to be a strategic and reliable partner for our clients in the engineering and specialty polymers sector,” says Nuno Guimarães, CEO of AGI.

Dr Jan-Olaf Barth, Director of Evonik High Performance Polymers, adds: “We are very pleased to further strengthen the existing trusted relationship with an experienced partner in engineering plastics distribution. Together, we aim to expand this collaboration, provide high-value plastics, and we are confident that clients across all sectors will benefit from it.”
