Amsterdam/The Netherlands — The purchase expands the company's footprint in South America, establishing it as one of the region's leading producers of curing systems for polyester thermoset resins.

The Dutch copany acquires Polinox's brands and trademarks, including Brasnox, Perbenzox and Tecnox Super, as well as its customer list and production expertise.
