CPH Holding Corp. Changes Name To The HallStar Company
Chicago,IL - The HallStar Company is the new name of Chicago-based CPH Holding Corp., the parent of a group of companies providing specialty chemical solutions. The HallStar name emphasizes a shared brand identity among the company's key group members as they meet new growth opportunities in the global marketplace.
"HallStar is positioned to launch forward in a new era of growth and ever-increasing global capabilities," said John Paro, President and CEO of HallStar "The HallStar name reflects our 88-year history of innovation and service and our ongoing commitment to providing customized solutions to help customers develop next-generation products."
In the mid-eighties, the newly named The HallStar Company acquired The C.P. Hall Company, a distributor to the rubber industry recognized for its diverse product line and exceptional service. Specialized manufacturing capabilities were added under the CPH Holding Corp. banner, producing high-quality customized esters for the rubber and plastics markets. CPH Holding Corp. acquired the RTD Chemicals Corporation in 2001 to create a personal care division, RTD HallStar. This solidified the CPH Holding Corp. group companies' role as premier providers of ester chemicals for specialized applications.
Today, the HallStar group companies serve a wide range of companies around the globe, enhancing the properties and performance of customer products. HallStar esters, polymer additives, and personal care ingredients are integral parts of innovative new formulations for plasticizers, softeners, extenders, and lubricants; sun- and skin-care products; unique solvents for agriculture; and innovative magnesium-based compounds for industrial applications.
The name change reinforces the dynamic corporate culture articulated in the concept of "TeamHall". As the group companies developed a more market-driven focus, TeamHall was introduced to foster the sharing of ideas, efficiencies, and opportunities to speed the flow of innovative products to customers.
To introduce the name change, HallStar has developed a new logo and tagline: HallStar: Right Chemistry… Positive Solutions.
