Renowned specialty chemicals and high-performance carbon materials manufacturer, Ingevity Corporation, has recently announced to have acquired pine chemicals business unit of Georgia-Pacific. Reportedly, the latest takeover is likely to complement the existing businesses of Ingevity and would further assist the firm to fortify its position in specialty chemicals industry.
In addition to purchasing the pine chemicals business, Ingevity has further obtained the ownership of Georgia-Pacific’s Arkansas based facility, book of business, customer lists, and saleable inventory. According to trusted sources, the South Carolina headquartered firm would also acquire various trade names and patents associated with the procured products range.
For the uninitiated, the Atlanta headquartered Georgia-Pacific’s pine chemicals division manufactures pine-based tall oil esters, tall oil fatty acids, and tall oil rosin. These chemicals are apparently utilized in cleaners, adhesives, metalworking, rubber processing, mining, inks, packaging, oilfield, paints and other coatings.
