KRAHN Chemie Acquires Greek Distributor InterActive

As of January 2020, KRAHN Chemie GmbH acquired a majority share of InterActive S.A., headquartered in Athens, Greece.

InterActive S.A. was founded in 1990 and specializes in the distribution of lubricant additives in the Israeli, Greek and Cypriot market, as well as scientific instruments for R&D and QC laboratories in oil, pharma & chemical industries by representing renowned international manufacturers.

“InterActive is a technically driven, well-established distributor with the profound market knowledge and the same mindset as KRAHN and by that the ideal partner to broaden our existing businesses to new regions,” said Dr. Rolf Kuropka, managing director of the KRAHN Chemie Group and upcoming chairman of InterActive.

“The new affiliation with the KRAHN Group provides us with a strong and solid base for our future business development,” said Yannis Protopapas, founder, co-owner and managing director of InterActive S.A. “It is a pleasure to be now part of a group which also strongly believes that deep local market knowledge and partnership-oriented relationships are fundamental in creating value for both our customers and suppliers. In addition, access to an extensive and high-quality product range, technical services as well as in-house laboratory support will accelerate our future growth.”
