LET'S COMBINE CHEMISTRY
In chemistry, new, unique combinations arise when different substances are combined. This also applies to merging companies. The reaction of this combination is a renewed energy which exposes new opportunities. Together, we create chemistry.
‘Let’s combine chemistry’ is what the companies are going to do literally, together we create chemical products. It results in enhanced cooperation and gives us a common goal. ‘Chemistry’ also has a second meaning. People who have chemistry are on the same page, they bond and connect. Where there is chemistry, great things happen.

What happens to Den Braven's product ranges, such as Zwaluw and Hercuseal?
Our brands Zwaluw and Hercuseal will continue to exist. The assortment is even more complete with the addition of Bostik!
Through the merge, the most complete range of adhesives and sealants is created. Both in width (number of different products) and in depth (number of product variants). With this we can offer you the most complete service. From now on you will find all products that you want to stock every day, under one roof.

What can we do for you?
Our renewed organization has a strong foundation based on four pillars. With these pillars, we both made a name for ourselves in the market. During the merging process, we reviewed and optimized these pillars once again.
1. Our customer is what is most important to us
2. Service down to the last detail
3. Innovation which keeps pushing us forward
4. Quality. Always
Why has the company name been changed?
Since Den Braven was acquired by Bostik, we are working more and more towards a common goal, to become the absolute authority in the field of adhesives and sealants. This step is a logical consequence of working more towards one common goal and becoming one company.
Will Den Braven continue to exist or will it be integrated into Bostik?
From 1 February 2019, Den Braven Benelux B.V. changed to Bostik Benelux B.V. Apart from this, nothing changes, the brands Hercuseal and Zwaluw remain.
What is changing for you?
Nothing changes for you. Since the acquisition of Den Braven by Bostik in December 2016, we have been working together more and more on different components. That is why we now have one commercial organization for the Benelux. The name change is therefore a logical and positive next step.
For you, the name change of Den Braven Benelux B.V. into Bostik Benelux B.V. is the most striking change. Bostik’s corporate branding will be fully implemented in future communications.
Separately, Bostik and Den Braven were already very strong. Bostik is a global player in smart adhesives. Den Braven offers world-class technologies in the field of sealants. By joining forces, a particularly powerful global player is created in adhesives and sealants, with unique solutions for the professional and successful propositions and concepts for our trading partners.
