As a European distributor of chemical raw materials, we have taken an important strategic step by joining MAVESZ (Magyar Vegyipari Szövetség – the Hungarian Chemical Industry Association). This partnership is a key part of our long-term presence in Hungary and reflects our approach built on responsibility and collaboration.
Why is Hungary important to us?
Hungary has been a key market for us for many years. The relationships we’ve built are rooted in trust and shared success, and our cooperation with Hungarian chemical companies continues to grow strongly. We’re pleased to support our partners’ development with reliable supply and a genuinely tailored approach.
That trust comes with responsibility. That’s why we continue to invest in a strong local presence. We’ve invested in understanding the market, building relationships, and developing products and services that reflect Hungarian needs. We’ve launched a fully localised Hungarian version of our website, provide dedicated support, and adapt the way we work to the specifics of the market.
But we want to be even closer. Joining MAVESZ is a natural next step, because it brings clear, practical value to our Hungarian partners. It means working with a distributor who truly understands the local market and is committed to supporting its growth.
MAVESZ – the voice of Hungary’s chemical industry
MAVESZ is a leading industry association for Hungary’s chemical sector, founded in 1990 with a mission to represent and advance the professional interests of chemical companies. It brings together a diverse membership covering the full breadth of the chemical industry — from manufacturing and petrochemicals to distribution and advisory services.
As a representative body, MAVESZ advocates for the sector in its dealings with government institutions, regulators and international organisations. The association is also an active member of CEFIC (the European Chemical Industry Council), ensuring Hungarian companies have a voice in European chemicals policy and wider industry dialogue
How does MAVESZ membership support our partners?
Centro-chem’s membership in MAVESZ is, above all, practical in nature. For companies operating in Hungary’s chemical sector, it means working with a partner that is closer to market realities and the industry dialogue — which supports smoother communication, better-aligned arrangements, and greater operational predictability.
A deeper understanding of the local market
MAVESZ gives us ongoing access to the issues that genuinely shape the market — quality expectations, regulatory direction, documentation requirements, and the cooperation standards typical of Hungarian companies. In practice, this enables a more precise alignment of how we operate with the needs of customers in Hungary, because commercial discussions and delivery arrangements are anchored in the local context.
Smoother cooperation across the supply chain
For companies purchasing raw materials, effective coordination across the supply chain is essential. Being part of the MAVESZ community supports day-to-day working relationships with Hungarian stakeholders and makes it easier to coordinate on matters where time, communication and clear rules are critical. It’s about operating within a local ecosystem — not a relationship based solely on transactions.
Active involvement in industry standards
We know how important it is to stay aligned with the direction the market treats as its benchmark. MAVESZ membership gives us the opportunity to take an active role in initiatives and knowledge-sharing around industry standards and best practice. As a result, collaboration becomes more predictable and processes are better matched to the expectations of Hungary’s chemical sector.
