Penta represents a collection of medium sized chemical stockists and distributors (Pentists), and was established in 1966 in Germany.

The aim of the company then was to secure the independence and competitiveness of the associate companies through collective purchasing.

Today, Penta provides the 11 shareholders with a range of services covering areas such as purchasing, information, IT, the environment, legal matters, safety, new products and Single Sourcing.

Under the banner "co-operation instead of concentration" Penta provides a realistic alternative to supra-regional organizations.

CSC JÄKLECHEMIE is a partner of Penta since 1969.
