Ter Group - Global Player with Strong Ties to Hamburg

Of course being headquartered in Hamburg, the "Gate to the World," is an ideal location for a company like Ter Group, a key global player as distributor, seller and producer of chemical raw materials. Apart from its geographic advantages, e.g., its proximity to the harbor, the port city ("Hansestadt") Hamburg looks back on a long tradition of "honorable traders" who, because of their dependability and openness to the world, earned an excellent reputation as trading partners. That same tadition was adopted by the directors of the Ter Group, a family-owned company that today is being run from Hamburg by the third generation.

What started as a trading company for waxes 100 years ago today has become a strong association of over 30 companies in Europe, Asia and the U.S. who deliver to the processing industry. A broad spectrum of activities is organized into Production (plastics, waxes), Trade, Service and Distribution.

In addition to the plastics sector, the Ter Group is particularly active in the specialty chemicals, paints and enamels, adhesives, food, cosmetics and GFK areas. And the company is the recognized leader in the global trade of natural waxes and balsam resins.
