The acquisition provides for the continued production of pre-weigh additives as well as an expansion of capabilities for each business.
“This acquisition is great for both companies,” said Coley Karr, General Manager of PPS/Chempac. “Rose Mill is an ISO certified company with a global reach, and PPS/Chempac’s customers will benefit from the expanded range of processing capabilities.”
