Suppliers in Monomers & Intermediates

In 1990, our founder, Dr. Bernard Gordon III, PhD, was working as a professor of polymer science at Penn State University. He saw an opportunity to capitalize on a niche market by developing a novel process of producing poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline), later trade named Aquazol®, while remaining cost effective for customers. This entrepreneurial ambition paved the way for the company we are today. 30 years later, PCI is still the only commercial manufacturer of Aquazol® (PEtOx) and has expanded into other specialty materials – each synthesized through innovative processes known and developed exclusively by PCI’s chemists.

We like niches, as this is precisely where we can best develop ourselves and the poten­tial of our products. We are the partner for custom-tailored chem­ical solu­tions. We’re always very close to our customers and the major changes in the indus­tries of the future. We provide the crucial connec­tion across many areas of applic­a­tion – and we have been doing this for more than 150 years. Chem­istry is every­where in our world and it is anchored in the things we need daily. We offer a broad range of high-perform­ance chem­ical products for a better daily life, for mega-trends, and future tech­no­lo­gies. We optimize our products with our own research and think ahead for the benefit of our customers. We analyze and test them in our labor­at­ories and fine-tune them in our own Applic­a­tion Tech­no­logy organ­iz­a­tion, and finally we synthesize and blend them in our produc­tion facility at our Heil­bronn site. Short paths, empathy, and inex­haust­ible innov­ative power are our distin­guishing char­ac­ter­istics. At Bruegge­mann, quality and quality assur­ance are more than a promise – they are our passion. Natur­ally we seek and find the niche not only at our histor­ical loca­tion in Heil­bronn. We are family busi­ness that focuses on continuity but also dynamics, and that builds strong roots and world­wide distri­bu­tion networks. Loca­tions in Germany, the USA, and Hong Kong also assure our success at this.
