Sasco Chemical Inc. acquired RubiChem Inc from HB Chemical. As the largest manufacturer of anti-tack products in North America for the rubber market, the acquisition supports Sasco’s market leadership and long-term growth strategy.
“We have expanded on our ability to deliver standard setting product and service excellence to the rubber industry with this acquisition,” said Marc Skalla, president of Sasco Chemical. “The Rubichem anti-tack products can best realize their potential as part of Sasco, which is fully committed to the anti-tack rubber business and the markets it serves worldwide.”
Sasco also announced the selection of HB Chemical as its strategic distribution partner for North America. HB Chemical will add Sasco’s entire product line to its inventory of more than 600 products distributed through a network of 15 warehouses in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
“This move combines Sasco’s strength as the largest manufacturer of rubber anti-tack products in North America with the vast infrastructure and outstanding customer service of HB Chemical,” said Skalla.
