LEVACO invests in Brazil
Specialty chemicals company further expands Brazil as a strategic growth market for agrochemicals and food chemicals
LEVACO Chemicals continues to expand its presence in Latin America: LEVACO Brasil Ltda. moved to a new office in São Paulo on April 1, 2026 and officially opened the location at the end of April. At the same time, LEVACO is handing over operational management to a local management team. The new Managing Director is Felipe di Natale, who brings with him many years of expertise in specialty chemicals - particularly in the agricultural sector.
"Brazil is a strategic growth market for LEVACO. With the new office in São Paulo and local management, we are strengthening our customer proximity - and developing the location specifically into a hub for LATAM," says Marius Mühlenberg, CEO of LEVACO Chemicals.
With the new office, the local warehouse in the São Paulo region and clear local structures, LEVACO is creating the basis for short response and delivery times as well as a more reliable supply to customers - an important advantage in a market that is often characterized by long import routes. In the medium term, LEVACO is also planning to build up additional laboratory capacity at the site in order to provide customers in the region with even more application-oriented support and to implement innovations more quickly.
Brazil is one of the world's most important sales markets for applications in the agricultural and food industry and is therefore an excellent fit for LEVACO's portfolio. Among other things, the company supplies additives for food production - particularly for local sugar and ethanol production - additives for crop protection formulations in agricultural production and functional specialty chemicals for applications in the coatings industry.
The investment in Brazil is part of LEVACO's international growth and diversification strategy. At the same time, the company is strengthening its home base: LEVACO recently invested several million euros in new production capacities and production infrastructure at CHEMPARK Leverkusen, which will increase capacity by several thousand tons per year.
