Michelman has acquired Recklinghausen, Germany based Ecronova Polymer GmbH, a manufacturer of water-based polymers used in the production of paints and lacquers. The purchase includes all assets, technology and manufacturing facilities.
Ecronova聚合物名称将继续用于业务运营，当前所有Ecronova聚合物产品的名称和配方将保持不变。
Ecronova Polymers由公司董事总监Peter Montag先生和Anton Solich先生所有，以及由私人股票投资公司Aheim Capital管理的资金。蒙塔格先生和索里奇先生将继续担任董事长，并将由目前米歇尔曼董事总经理EMEA的让·马克·维尔海格先生加入。Verhaeghe先生将承担整体运营责任。Ecronova Polymer的客户将不会看到他们的服务中断，并将继续与他们当前的Ecronova联系人合作。
According to Mr. Steven Shifman, Michelman President and CEO, “Ecronova Polymer manufactures exceptionally high quality products that are complementary to the solutions we currently offer our paint and coatings customers. However, the addition of their product lines, their people, as well as their innovative manufacturing processes, gives us greater technical capabilities that will be strategically utilized beyond just our paint and coatings business. With this key acquisition, we have enhanced our ability to develop powerful new solutions, and more importantly, new opportunities, for all customers who are using or developing water-based additives and coatings.”
Ecronova Polymer’s lines of water-based polymers include styrene acrylics, pure acrylic emulsions, vinyl acetate copolymers and polyurethane dispersions. “Like us, Michelman offers a variety of well-known brands, but has also emphasized flexibility and development of customized solutions”, said Mr. Montag. “Bringing the two companies together is going to solidify our position as the company that is truly capable of helping our customers win and grow.”
Mr. Solich went on to add, “Together, we are able to provide our collective customers greater application expertise, and a much wider variety of products used in their formulations. We look forward to exploring the exciting capabilities made possible by this transaction”.
通过收购，米歇尔曼在德国获得了物理状态，并增加了欧洲足迹。该公司现在在比利时/卢森堡地区，德国，美国和新加坡拥有产品开发和制造设施，以及上海的新技术服务中心，为中国和大亚太市场提供服务。
