Founded in 1999, Lankem is a dynamic and fast-growing supplier of surfactants to a wide range of industrial sectors including coatings, emulsion polymerisation, agrochemicals, textiles, oils & lubricants, and industrial cleaning.

In recent years, we’ve focused our innovation on developing sustainable, bio-based alternatives to synthetic surfactants — leading to the launch of our BioLoop Surfactants, a new generation of high-performance, environmentally conscious solutions.

At Lankem, technical expertise is at the heart of everything we do. Our dedicated R&D and formulation support teams work closely with customers to create tailored solutions, improve formulations, and solve complex application challenges. Our laboratory facilities are equipped for product analysis, formulation matching, and rapid technical support — all of which contribute to long-term partnerships and product innovation.

Our surfactant range spans all major classes — anionic, nonionic, cationic, and amphoteric — offering diverse functionality such as detergency, emulsification, foaming, wetting, and dispersing. Whether you're looking for low-foam cleaners, high-performance emulsifiers, or versatile wetting agents, we have proven solutions to support your product development.

We are committed to quality, sustainability, and ethical business practices. Lankem is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, and we are proud members of the Responsible Care programme — reinforcing our dedication to safety, environmental compliance, and responsible innovation.
