Stewart will play a role in leading Azelis' CASE U.S. business, collaborating closely with the company's strategic principals to devise and implement a business strategy geared towards sustainable growth.

In her new role, Murthy will be responsible for leading the digital strategy and commercial excellence programs for the specialty chemical distributor.

Azelis Americas CASE, a specialty chemical distribution company, builds unwavering loyalty by helping our paint & coatings customers solve their most complex problems and accelerate sales.

The agreement strengthens Azelis’ portfolio of pigment products in the coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers (CASE), and advanced materials & additives (AM&A) markets in France and Benelux. It includes the pigment portfolio that Sun Chemical acquired from BASF in 2021, and is an expansion of the long-standing partnership between Sun Chemical and Azelis.

This portfolio addition enables Azelis to further grow its footprint in the Indian industrial chemicals market, while also building upon the successful distribution partnership between the two companies. 

Azelis Americas recently announced that Vuk Milojkovic will join the company in a senior leadership role as Managing Director (MD) of the United States.
