Strategic Partnership Gehring-Montgomery is expanding through partnerships, including a recent distribution agreement with Graphene Star and collaboration with CHT Group. This signals openness to new supplier relationships and channel-driven sales opportunities in coatings, adhesives, and specialty chemicals across North America.

Expansion in Coatings Active hiring of coating and chemical engineering talent (Taylor Murray in manufacturing/chemistry, Tim Ring for product and planning, Jennifer Ferst as sales manager) indicates a focus on expanding product lines and market reach in coating chemicals, presenting a ripe opportunity for cross-sell of specialty additives and emulsions.

Diversified Customer Touchpoints Serving automotive, coatings, adhesives, food, and personal care industries with strong logistics and customer satisfaction highlights multiple target verticals for upsell of specialty chemicals, performance additives, and sustainable solutions within existing distributor networks.

Acquisition Momentum Acquisition of Strohmeyer’s Wax Division in 2023 suggests capacity for inorganic growth and portfolio expansion, indicating potential for introducing complementary product lines and bundled offerings to current and new customers.

Global-to-US Access Owned by TER Group, a German-based global chemical trading firm, Gehring-Montgomery benefits from international sourcing and expertise, which can be leveraged to offer customers diversified supply chains, risk management solutions, and access to a broader range of specialty chemicals.
