SAA has advised shareholder of Stera Chemicals, a leader in the distribution of chemical raw materials, on the sale of 70% of their stake in Stera Chemicals to OQEMA Group, one of the ten largest European chemical distributors.

Founded in 1999, Stera Chemicals (https://sterachemicals.ro/en/) operates in several industries, including varnishes and paints, cosmetics and detergents, rubber, constructions, plastics, food, water treatment and agriculture.
