Gapuma’s Raj Thakkar heads to Cologne for Chemspec Europe
5th May 2026 Gapuma Group’s Raj Thakkar will be at Chemspec Europe 2026 at Koelnmesse, Cologne, on 6-7 May – one of the chemical industry’s most valuable annual gatherings. The event serves as a cross-sector sourcing hub for fine and speciality chemicals, bringing together producers, buyers, and technical experts from across pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, speciality materials, coatings, personal care, electronics, energy, and many other industries. With over 400 global suppliers on the exhibition floor, it is precisely the kind of concentrated, high-quality environment where meaningful business relationships are forged, and supply chains are sharpened. During his visit, Raj will be strengthening ties with Gapuma’s existing partners whilst exploring new supplier opportunities – the twin pillars of any serious procurement strategy. Face-to-face engagement remains as valuable as ever in a sector navigating one of the fastest-changing markets the industry has known.

Gapuma’s Sunil Bahl to Attend Chem Expo India 2025:
25 April 2025 Gapuma is pleased to announce that Sunil Bahl, our Channel & Product Manager, will be attending Chem Expo India 2025, taking place in Mumbai on 29th and 30th April.

Chem Expo 2025 promises to bring together leading players from the bulk, fine, and specialty chemicals industries, making it a pivotal platform for both business development and industry networking. With India increasingly recognised as a global powerhouse for specialty chemicals manufacturing, Gapuma’s presence at the event underlines our commitment to expanding opportunities in high-growth economies, particularly across Latin America. Sunil Bahl will be representing Gapuma at the Expo, engaging with exhibitors and industry professionals alike. We warmly invite anyone attending to keep an eye out for Sunil during the event — and if you would like to arrange a meeting or find out more, please get in touch via gapuma.com/contact.
