We are proud of what we do and we are happy to be appreciated. The quality of our relationships with our partners is as fundamental as that of our products. Unipex is a company of specialists and specialties, convinced that the quality of human relationships creates excellence.

 

We are pleased to have joined the Barentz teams since May 2022. This combination will provide opportunities for multiple synergies and further increase principals and customers satisfactions. This acquisition will strengthen Barentz' footprint in the global life science and performance materials market as well as its position in Europe.
