ALBIS expands to Israel
Hamburg, May 13, 2025 – ALBIS continues its international growth with the establishment of a subsidiary in Tel Aviv, Israel. This strategic move marks another step in its expansion beyond Europe and APAC.
"The launch of our subsidiary in Israel is a significant milestone in our global growth strategy," says Horst Klink, CEO of ALBIS. "Israel offers a robust and dynamic economic environment with a strong industrial sector. We are excited to bring our expertise and high-quality solutions to this market." ALBIS will distribute its portfolio of products from long-standing partners BASF, Covestro, MOCOM, SK Chemicals and Syensqo, as well as newer partners including Aloxe and Arkema.
Israel is known for its strong innovation potential, driven by a vibrant start-up ecosystem and the presence of internationally active companies.

In addition, the company will support plastic converters and OEMs with reliable logistics services from its own warehouse in Haifa.
The new subsidiary will be led by Maayan Afar as Managing Director of ALBIS Distribution Israel Ltd.
