Cortec Corporation, a leading global manufacturer specializing in environmentally responsible VpCI/VCI corrosion protection technologies, announces a new authorized distribution partner in Finland for Cortec chemical products. Cortec Corporation has ended its long-term relationship with Teknoma Oy and is looking forward to a new phase of growth and collaboration with a new partner. Mercamer, distributor of Cortec flexible VpCI packaging, has been authorized to offer Cortec's innovative patented corrosion protection chemical products and solutions to the Finnish market. Mercamer is now the only authorized distributor for Cortec Corporation’s products in Finland. The company is a packaging specialist with a broad range of products and expertise. Mercamer has over 50 years of experience in the Finnish packaging market. As part of the OptiGroup, Mercamer is one of the leading brands in the packaging business and the market leader in Finland. Their success largely depends on their ability to fulfill customers' individual needs. The company has long-term customer and supplier relationships, as well as highly skilled and motivated personnel. They provide total packaging services all over Finland, with the headquarters in Vantaa and a regional office in Turku. Their portfolio covers services from designing and analyzing to standardizations.
As an organization that invests in quality, environmental safety, transparency and innovation, Mercamer has recognized Cortec Corporation as a valuable partner in corrosion protection business. Cortec has been a pioneer and industry leader in the corrosion prevention field for several decades, producing a wide range of multifunctional products that provide unparalleled benefits to customers. With over 400 products tailored for packaging, oil and gas, metalworking, construction, electronics, water treatment, and other industries, the company is focused on innovation, green technologies, and sustainable materials. Cortec is not only a front-runner in the industry but has also set new levels of standards in the corrosion protection market. Cortec's VpCI/VCI technology enables many advantages designed to save time, money, and provide more thorough, reliable, and easier-to-use protection compared to other metals preservation strategies. Cortec’s VCI’s are safe to handle and completely nitrite free.
Most of the products are recyclable or water-based, typically having a lower environmental impact than harsher chemicals. As an ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 17025 certified company, Cortec's biobased and water-based liquids replace polluting oil/solvent-based coatings. Cortec’s VP of Sales for Europe, Ivana Radic Borsic, looks forward to cooperation: “We are delighted that Mercamer’s team has recognized the quality of the Cortec Corporation brand. Together, Cortec and Mercamer will continue to offer the best support to our partners and clients in the Finnish market. We share the same values and are committed to providing world-class corrosion protection solutions of the highest standards, with sustainability in mind,” she concluded.
