France-based Synthron's parent company, Protex International, has acquired US-based paper chemicals company Northern Specialty Chemicals.
Synthron said the acquisition will improve the company's activity in the chemical products paper market.
The chemical products paper market represents more than 11% of the activity of Protex International and the acquisition of Northern Specialty Chemicals aims at further developing this segment.
Northern Specialty Chemicals products include anti-slip agents, fireproofings, waterproofings, water retainers, waterproofing, spreading agent and wax emulsions.
Synthron will continue to promote its products in present markets and develop its position in North American and Canadian markets.
