Cortec Corporation, a global player in VpCI /MCI corrosion-control technologies, has announced its acquisition of Cortec Southeast Asia’s (CSEA) offices in Singapore. CSEA is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cortec Corporation.

This development promises to improve service and customer support in Southeast Asia due to a direct connection with Cortec’s headquarters in Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Since January 2019, CSEA has been a partner and distribution hub for Cortec products and services in Southeast Asia, serving the markets of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brunei, and Indonesia.

Cortec’s CSEA acquisition will take that tradition to a new level of real-time product and service responsiveness when the transition is complete.

Cortec looks forward to completing the full transition in upcoming months, when improved inventory responsiveness will equip CSEA for better customer service and an expanded presence in the Southeast Asia region.

Cortec CEO, Boris Miksic, stated, “The acquisition of Cortec SEA in Singapore is an important step forward for our Group by expanding logistics and technical support to the distribution network in Asia and Australia.” Miksic founded Cortec 45 years ago and has watched it grow from a rust preventative startup at his home in Minnesota into a multinational entity with offices based in the US, Canada, Europe, and now Singapore.

Cortec Corporation provides innovative, environmentally responsible VpCI and MCI corrosion control technologies. It seeks to deliver cost-effective, user-friendly integrated solutions for corrosion problems in packaging, metalworking, construction, electronics, oil and gas, and many other industries.
