EOC SURFACTANTS, BELGIEN
EOC started life as a producer of foam rubber for the mattress and furniture sectors. However, with rubber about to make way for foamed polyethylene, the group shifted its core activity to compounds for the carpet industry. And with this its continued expansion was assured. After steady growth it was decided that EOC should produce various raw materials under its own management. This decision led to the EOC of today, with its five divisions:
Compounds, Latex, Emulsions, Adhesives & Surfactants.
The main activity of the EOC Group’s Surfactants division is to produce high‑quality mild surface-active substances for the cosmetics and detergents industries. These products are the basic ingredients for foaming cosmetics (shampoos, shower gels) and liquid detergents (washing-up liquids). Eight years after it came into being, in 1990, the Surfactants division of EOC was already an independent public limited company, with production departments in Belgium and Portugal. Since then it has expanded with a branch in Italy and a second production department in Belgium. These entities work very closely with their customers. In this way EOC is able to offer optimal technical support and a fast and appropriate response to all demands from the market, in any part of the world. The engine behind this lasting growth is consistent quality and a high degree of purity. Flexible service is another strong point: as a medium sized supplier, EOC is perfectly placed to manufacture and deliver products with special specifications.
EOC also offers a complete range of additives for foaming cosmetics products.
