About
Oqema Ag is a chemical distribution company specializing in a diverse range of chemical products.

Founded in 1922, Oqema Ag operates out of Monchengladbach, Germany, and is dedicated to the distribution of chemical products. The company has engaged in two notable deals, with the most recent taking place on June 1, 2024.
The firm is led by CEOs Matthias Mirbach and Michael Thürmer, who bring extensive industry experience to the business. Oqema GmbH specializes in a wide array of chemical products, particularly in adhesives and sealants, automotive, machinery, and surface technology. The company provides tailored solutions for sectors such as construction, energy, and personal care. Their product offerings are aimed at meeting specific needs in manufacturing, packaging, and cleaning, and they serve clients across Germany, France, the Netherlands, Italy, and the United Kingdom.

Looking ahead, Oqema Ag aims to launch new products designed to address evolving market needs, with specific release dates to be announced. The company is also targeting expansion into new markets, specifically in Eastern Europe and the Nordic countries, by 2025. The recent exit of Hannover Finanz from its stake in June 2024, details of which remain undisclosed, may provide additional capital to support these growth initiatives.
