Under a definitive agreement signed between Cabot Corporation and Bridgestone Corporation, Cabot Corporation will take over Mexico Carbon Manufacturing for 70 million dollars.

Boston/USA – Cabot Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Mexico Carbon Manufacturing (MXCB) from Bridgestone Corporation. The reinforcing carbons manufacturing facility was commissioned in 2005 and is located in close proximity to Cabot’s current reinforcing carbons facility in Altamira, Mexico, which has operated successfully since 1990. Furthermore, it underscores Bridgestone’s confidence in Cabot as a trusted partner with a proven track record of delivering high-quality, reliable supply.

Under the terms of the acquisition, Cabot will strengthen its longstanding partnership with Bridgestone through the long-term supply of reinforcing carbon products from MXCB for Bridgestone. In addition, the facility also has the capability to manufacture other reinforcing carbon products, providing flexibility to support broader customer needs and future growth opportunities. MXCB is expected to enhance Cabot’s global capabilities and support its long-term growth strategy. The transaction strengthens Cabot’s position as a global leader in carbon black by adding additional production capacity, and reinforcing the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable supply to key markets.
