EASTMAN CHEMICAL INTERNATIONAL GMBH

Type: Trader / Sales and Distribution Entity

Introduction:

EASTMAN CHEMICAL INTERNATIONAL GMBH is a subsidiary of Eastman Chemical Company, a global specialty materials company headquartered in the United States. While the GMBH itself is based in Germany and primarily functions as an international sales, marketing, and distribution arm, it oversees or supports Eastman Chemical's business activities in various regions, including Turkey.

In Turkey, Eastman Chemical Company operates through local entities, typically a sales and marketing office (e.g., Eastman Chemical Company (Turkey) A.S.), which is responsible for the distribution and sale of Eastman's diverse portfolio of advanced materials, additives, functional products, and specialty chemicals to customers across various industries such as transportation, building and construction, consumer goods, agriculture, and healthcare. Therefore, EASTMAN CHEMICAL INTERNATIONAL GMBH itself is not a manufacturing plant in Turkey, but rather a key part of Eastman's global sales and distribution network that facilitates trade and customer engagement in the Turkish market.

Eastman Chemical International GmbH primarily operates as a sales and distribution entity for Eastman Chemical Company's global product portfolio in Turkey, rather than a manufacturing site. The products they sell and distribute in Turkey are drawn from Eastman's broad range of specialty materials, which include:
