“This acquisition is another consistent step along our path of growth,” said Dr Matthias L Wolfgruber, CEO, Altana AG. Within the Altana group, the polypropylene wax emulsion business will be integrated into BYK Additives & Instruments, the division with the highest sales volume.
Dr Christoph Schlunken, President of the BYK Division, added, “This acquisition expands our existing portfolio in the field of wax emulsions, and now enables us to offer customers an even broader range of additive solutions.” Just recently, in October 2013, BYK also acquired Rockwood’s rheology business.
