Academic Account Manager
What do you think of when you hear the expression “Gute Chemie”? Does it make you think of topquality products or people that understand each other well? Since 1987, we have consistently attempted to combine both. We offer Gute Chemie in form of specialty chemicals, that we supply to major life science and chemical companies worldwide. abcr also offers in-house production from Spain, specialized in silanes and siloxanes, as well as research and development of complex fluorinated compounds in our laboratory in Germany. abcr is family-owned middle size company with Headquarter in Karlsruhe, Germany.
The recent rapid growth brought us to France, where the subsidiary was created in Lyon in 2018. We are currently looking for a field sales representatives for this location to support our further expansion in the French Academic and R+D Market.
