​As part of Azelis’ strategy of growth acceleration, Laurent Nataf, currently CEO & President of Azelis Asia Pacific, is assuming the role of Chief M&A Officer effective 1 September, 2022. The creation of this new role within the Executive Committee reflects the continued importance of the group’s M&A program to complement its organic growth development in strengthening its footprint and market leadership. Laurent will further develop and execute Azelis’ global M&A strategy, in line with the group’s ambitious growth plans, and will also oversee post-acquisition integration programs. Laurent will be leveraging his leadership skills and experience in business development, having led the acquisition of 17 companies for Azelis in Asia Pacific. Under Laurent’s leadership, the group’s Asia Pacific business grew from 8% to over 15% of group revenue and expanded Azelis’ footprint to cover 12 countries in the region.

​Sertaç Sürür, currently Managing Director of Azelis Turkey, will assume the leadership of the Asia Pacific region from Laurent Nataf. Since joining in 2015, Sertaç has performed various local and regional leadership roles, and has developed the group’s Turkish business from 2% to almost 6% of Azelis’ EMEA revenue, steering the business to become a leading specialty chemical distributor in the domestic market. Prior to joining Azelis, Sertaç held various commercial and management leadership positions at global industrial and chemical distribution and production companies, including DSM and Ravago.

As members of the Executive Committee, Laurent and Sertaç will both report to Group CEO,Dr. Hans Joachim Müller. They will commence transitioning into their new roles shortly to ensure a smooth and seamless handover.

Created in 2001 through the merger of Novorchem in Italy and Arnaud in France, establishing the foundation for an international distribution network, as envisioned by Dr. Hans Udo Wenzel, the founder of Novorchem. However, the roots of Azelis actually can be traced back to 1898, with the formation of Chance and Hunt, a chemical distributor in the UK, which became part of Azelis in 2002.

We are the conduit between over 2,300 specialty chemicals and food ingredients principals that have granted Azelis one or more mandates to distribute their products, and over 51,000 customers, which are typically small- and medium-sized players that cater to diversified life sciences and industrial chemicals end markets.

The group have a presence in 57 countries around the world, with over 60 application laboratories and 100+ offices globally. Azelis is a market leader in EMEA (which accounted for 46.5% of the Group's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020), where it is the second largest pure-play specialty chemicals and food ingredients distributor, and the Americas (which accounted for 42.9% of the Group's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020), where it is the largest pure-play specialty chemicals and food ingredients distributor, and has a growing presence in Asia-Pacific (which accounted for 10.7% of the Group's revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020).
