Foamit enters Benelux market with Argex as primary distribution partner
Foamit has entered into a distribution agreement with Argex NV for the Benelux region. Argex will act as Foamit’s primary distribution partner in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
The Benelux region represents one of Europe’s fastest-growing markets for lightweight filling materials, driven by strong infrastructure demand and a clear environmental agenda supporting circular and low-carbon construction solutions. The partnership enables Foamit to establish a presence in the region by leveraging Argex’s established customer base and market access.
“The Benelux market offers significant growth potential for sustainable lightweight materials. Argex’s strong local presence and expertise make them an excellent partner to support our expansion in the region,” says Tomi Jussila, Sales Director of Foamit Nordic.
"The partnership with Foamit represents an important step in expanding the availability of sustainable lightweight fill solutions in the Benelux. By combining Foamit’s advanced foam glass technology with Argex’s long-standing market presence, we can better support infrastructure and construction projects seeking low-carbon and circular material options”, says Richard van Doesburg, Sales Director & co-CEO of Argex.
“The distribution agreement with Argex supports our strategic goal of expanding the foam glass market in Europe. In addition to expanding into a new market area, our total production capacity, which grew by 20 percent last year, will help us achieve our growth targets,” says Erja Sankari, CEO of Foamit.
