Warminster, PA and Mississauga, Ontario – July 30, 2026 – Gehring Montgomery, Inc. (GMI), a leading North American specialty chemical distributor under the TER Group in Germany, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Lorama Group, a global innovator in advanced color technology, custom colorant solutions, and sustainable bio-based additives for the CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers) industries.

Under this new agreement, Gehring Montgomery will serve as the exclusive distributor for Lorama Group’s product portfolio across the United States territory east of the Mississippi River, providing customers with local inventory, technical support, formulation expertise, and market development services.
