Gebrüder Dorfner signed a declaration of intent with BioPowder, a supplier of sustainable natural granulated materials, for a long-term supplier-customer relationship.

Spanish company BioPowder, which launched in 2017, specializes in the granulation and micronization of natural, renewable raw materials such as olive pits. These granules are used as bio-additives or natural functional fillers in various solvent-based and non-solvent-based formulations, such as paints and coatings. Dorfner says that it seeks to manufacture innovative and functional fillers based on renewable raw materials from BioPowder.

The agreement currently allows for the marketing of refined and non-refined core products under the Dorfner name and the refining or blending of core products for applications and markets under the BioPowder brand. Depending on success, the company says that this commercial and technical collaboration may be extended through long-term contracts.
