Safic-Alcan, a French distribution group of chemical specialties, recently acquired Laserson, a prominent French distributor of specialty ingredients for the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Based in Etampes (Paris greater area, France), Laserson employs 21 people and achieved sales revenues of 17.5 million euros in 2012.

The priority of both companies will be to maintain the same spirit of first-class service to customers and principals that is key to success in this business,” explains Safic-Alcan in a release.
