Swedish polymer group HEXPOL has agreed to acquire US thermoplastic compounding company McCann Plastics for USD120m on a cash and debt free basis, said Cision.
McCann Plastics, of North Canton, Ohio, is specialised in niche thermoplastic compounds, with special focus on roto moulding applications. Its main end customer segments are general industry, agriculture and specialised cooling boxes.
The company, with sales of USD72m in the past 12 months, has operations at two sites in Ohio and employs about 100 people. The acquisition, expected to close in the current Q4, is “fully in line with HEXPOL’s M&A strategy of acquisitions within polymer compounds,” HEXPOL said.
As per MRC, Hexpol has completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of Union de Industrias C.A., S.A. (Unica) from Espiga Capital, a Spanish based Private Equity firm. Unica is a significant player in Rubber Compounds in Spain, supplying several demanding customers in the automotive, construction and agriculture sectors.
