MOSCOW (MRC) -- US-based global thermoplastics resin distributor Nexeo Plastics has acquired Italian thermoplastics distributor and compounder Nevicolor, said the company.
In a deal that expands its European footprint, resin distributor Nexeo Plastics LLC has acquired Nevicolor SpA, a resin supplier and compounder based in Luzzara, Italy, for an undisclosed amount.
Headquartered in The Woodlands, Tex., Nexeo is an affiliate of GPD Companies Inc., a group of distributors formed by One Rock Capital Partners.

"This strategic acquisition increases GPD’s scale and affords Nexeo Plastics access to Nevicolor’s highly technical and analytical specialization,” said GPD CEO Paul Tayler. “Nevicolor has built a reliable network of international suppliers, and we look forward to continuing to serve its customers with the customized solutions they have come to expect."
"Our customers in Europe will now have access to a robust offering of tailor-made compounds, specialty polymers, lab services, and recycled material,” said Joost d’Hooghe, vice president of EMEA at Nexeo.
