Nordmann, an international leading company in chemical distribution, celebrates its 111th anniversary this year. In 1912, Hamburg entrepreneurs Eduard Nordmann and Fritz Rassmann decided to enter the rubber business. Today, Nordmann is an internationally operating chemical distributor offering raw materials and solutions for almost all industries. The company has its own production in Singapore, laboratories for cosmetics and food applications and is led by CEO Dr. Gerd Bergmann and CFO Ulrich Cramer.

A new generation of sustainable and environmentally friendly bioplastics is beginning to show enormous market potential: polylactide (PLA), a polyester synthesized from sugar through a multistep process.

The Management Board of Georg Nordmann Holding Aktiengesellschaft (GNH) is delighted to announce that as of April 1, Ulrich Cramer assumed his role as Nordmann’s Commercial Managing Director. In so doing, he takes charge of Controlling, Human Resources & Organization, Information Technology, Logistics & Warehousing and Tax & Accounting.
