SOCOMORE and HANSI Sign Partnership and Industrial Agreement for “Critical Bonding” Applications
On March 18th, SOCOMORE signed an investment agreement with HANSI, becoming the majority shareholder of HANSI Chemie GmbH, which has been renamed SOCOMORE BONDING GmbH.
HANSI, a mid-cap Chinese company based in Shanghai, is a highly specialized expert in the field of adhesives, offering solution-oriented work and tailor-made products for 25 years with a strong presence in Asia’s cutting-edge sectors.
This capital partnership is complemented by a technological partnership with a broad portfolio of critical bonding technologies, which will benefit SOCOMORE’s customers in EMEA.
This transaction allows HANSI to leverage SOCOMORE’s strong presence and customer proximity in Europe for its expansion.
Based near Mannheim, the manufacturing facility opened in 2024 is fully equipped to produce and develop HANSI’s technologies for Europe. This will be the first SOCOMORE manufacturing site in Germany, paving the road for further development of SOCOMORE’s technologies in the country.
José Coelho, CEO of SOCOMORE Group: “I’m very happy to have concluded this agreement which brings new manufacturing capacity to SOCOMORE in Germany and reinforces our presence in Europe. This agreement completes our current portfolio with a new adhesive product line developed by a partner with 25 years of experience, serving our markets, and is a perfect addition to our recent partnership with KEOL. This is a new step in our strategic development, which will allow SOCOMORE to enter the bonding market as a new technological activity, following our latest acquisition in the sealant market.”
Jinsong Xiang, Chairman of HANSI: “We are equally delighted to embark on this strategic partnership with SOCOMORE. This collaboration marks a crucial milestone for our global development, enabling us to bring our 25 years of adhesive expertise and critical bonding technologies to the European market. We look forward to leveraging SOCOMORE’s strong European network and local presence to better serve customers across EMEA, and to jointly drive innovation in high-performance bonding solutions for advanced industries worldwide.”
