Transparency
You always know who you’re buying from and why we get paid.
International sales agency: Direct relationships. Practical trade expertise.
RETBA works between chemical producers worldwide and paint and adhesive manufacturers in Africa, Latin America and North America.
One direct connection
Two sides of the market.
Much of the chemical trade in these markets runs through traders and distributors who buy, stock and resell, adding cost and distance between producer and customer.
RETBA’s model is different. End users buy direct from the factory, and the factory pays RETBA. No stockholding, no resale, no hidden mark-ups. Just a transparent, factory-direct relationship with practical trade support.
Experience across markets
Knowledge earned on the ground.
Nicolas Lisbonne and Ronan Douerin bring more than 25 years of combined coatings-industry experience across resins, titanium dioxide, pigments, additives, fillers and silicones. They source from Asia, Europe and the Middle East, understand trade routes and documentation, and visit factories in person before customers commit.
Directness
No stockholding, no resale, no unnecessary layer between you and the factory.
Consistency
The same people handle your account, call after call, shipment after shipment.
Accountability
We don’t disappear if something goes wrong. We stay and help fix it.
