The acquisition includes R.J. Marshall’s Alumina Trihydrate and Marshall Additive Technologies product lines (excluding those containing antimony trioxide). These products are known for their high quality and performance. HAM will integrate these products into its existing portfolio, providing customers with a seamless transition and continued access to the materials they rely on. The acquisition will bolster HAM's ability to effectively meet the evolving needs of its customers and enables HAM to offer more cost-effective replacements for antimony trioxide.
“This acquisition underlines HAM’s strategic commitment to grow our halogen-free fire retardant and smoke suppressant portfolio and expand our product offering for our customers,” said Martin Schulting, Global Vice President Sales & Marketing at Huber Advanced Materials.
"We are excited to incorporate the Marshall Additive Technologies and Alumina Trihydrate products into the HAM portfolio," said Fidel Agbor, Director of Global Product Management at Huber Advanced Materials. "This acquisition aligns with our strategic goals and will enable us to better serve our customers with an expanded range of high-performance materials."
Huber Advanced Materials is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all customers. The integration process will include comprehensive support and communication to address any questions or concerns.
