Arkema Finalizes Acquisition of Polimeros Especiales

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2022


At the beginning of the month, specialty chemicals company Arkema announced that the acquisition of privately-owned Mexican high-performance waterborne resins producer, Polimeros Especiales, had been finalized.

The deal, which was first announced back in July, will reportedly strengthen Arkema’s Coating Solutions segment in high-growth markets. At the time, Arkema also noted that Polimeros Especiales’ high-performance waterborne resins could be utilized to formulate a broad range of applications in markets such as architectural and decorative paints, textiles, pressure-sensitive adhesives and construction.

In 2021, the acquired company was reported to achieve roughly $40 million in sales.
