We are pleased to announce that as of 1 February 2024, Chemlink Specialities and Addi-Tec have merged and rebranded to become HARKE UK LP.
Under the new HARKE UK brand, both companies will maintain their individual business units while expanding into new sectors, including Food, Basechem, and Pharma. This strategic move aims to fulfill the diverse needs of customers throughout the UK, Ireland and across Europe by expanding the range of products and services offered.
There will be five divisions within HARKE UK:

- HARKE Addi-Tec – covering coatings, plastics and polymer ingredients and additives
- HARKE Pharma – covering pharmaceuticals
