Your partner for Chemicals and Polyolefins
Our History
LuerChem LLC, Geneva (Switzerland), was incorporated in January 2003 by our founder and owner Udo Benesch, a veteran of the European Chemical Industry, who held a series of Senior Management positions during his 30 year-long career with Union Carbide (UCC) / Dow Chemical Corporations.
At the founding of our company, a team of experienced and highly respected Marketing & Sales executives was already in place, most of them being of UCC/Dow and/or BP heritage. Very soon after the incorporation of our Swiss Headquarters, wholly owned subsidiaries were also established in Warsaw (PL) and Cairo (EG), with additional Sales Offices in Prague, Vienna, Casablanca, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Johannesburg and a Logistics/Operations Office in Antwerp.
We are a European player but our main territorial focus is on Eastern Europe, Turkey, Middle East and Africa.

LuerChem is a Service Company offering its Principals first class local customer contact, services and know-how. We act as the prolonged sales arm of our Principals, be it as the contractual Agent/Representative or as a designated Reseller.
Our typical work and expertise ranges from market assessments & analysis to professional product introduction / sales / supply chain work / customer service / follow-up / collection and after-sales work.
We take great pride in the excellent business relationships we have built over the years with customers and principals alike and we work to improve and strengthen these relationships and market positions.
