About Velox:
VELOX – 20 years in motion
VELOX was founded in 1993 when Bernard Goursaud and Max Schlenzig decided to create a sales and marketing company for chemical specialities. Benefitting from an international background in the sector and many years of experience, their idea was to establish a new concept for chemicals distribution. This is focused on a strong partnership between the provider and VELOX, as well as on the continuous pan-European expansion of the sales network.
Since then VELOX has grown steadily and is today a European leader in the marketing and supply of raw material specialities for the plastics, composites, additives, paints and coatings industries. We have local sales offices in 18 countries and more than 200 experienced staff.
