Peter Greven Group acquires Dreumex to strengthen international market position

NETHERLANDS – Peter Greven Group, through its subsidiary Peter Greven Physioderm (PGP), has acquired Dreumex B.V., a well-established Dutch company known globally for its industrial hand cleaners, disinfectants, and hygiene solutions. 

This acquisition aims to strengthen Peter Greven’s international market position and expand its footprint, particularly in the United States. 

Dreumex has an extensive global presence, serving customers in over 50 countries with subsidiaries in the Netherlands, France, and the U.S.

As a result of the acquisition, Peter Greven U.S. Corporation will move its operations into Dreumex USA, Inc. facilities. 

As part of the agreement, both companies will retain their independent brands and business activities to ensure a smooth transition without disruptions for customers and suppliers. 

Frank Severiens, Managing Director of Peter Greven Physioderm, emphasized the strategic importance of this move, stating, “Our product portfolios complement each other perfectly.”

“Together, we support personal and public health, aiming to raise awareness of occupational skin care, hand, and surface hygiene in people’s everyday working lives, and provide an even better service to our customers, both nationally and internationally.”

“In addition, this acquisition strengthens our international presence and provides greater stability within the group, especially in the face of the current challenging environment.”

This acquisition not only enhances Peter Greven’s reach in the occupational skin care and hygiene market but also positions the company more competitively on the international stage by leveraging Dreumex’s recognized expertise and customer base.

Peter Greven Group manufactures metal soaps, esters, and dispersions for industries like plastics, lubricants, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. 

The company also offers professional skin protection products under the GREVEN® and Physioderm brands. 

The company emphasizes sustainability through RSPO-certified ingredients and the use of renewable raw materials. 

With facilities in Europe, Asia, and the U.S., it integrates eco-conscious practices across its global operations.

On the other hand, Dreumex offers heavy-duty hand cleansers, sanitizers, and protective creams tailored for industrial environments. It also provides disinfecting wipes, surface cleaners, and degreasers for professional hygiene and facility maintenance. 

Their touch-free dispensing systems, like One2Clean and Omnicare, enhance hygiene efficiency across sectors such as automotive, food, healthcare, and construction.
