Source: Vulcan Chemicals
Materials Co. (Birmingham, AL) will combine its specialty chemicals businesses into a new Vulcan Performance Chemicals unit that will offer an expanded product range and national reach.
The new unit will continue to manufacture basic and custom specialty chemicals for the pulp and paper, textiles, and water management markets. It also plans to begin serving other markets, such as petrochemicals, mining, and utilities.
The unit includes Callaway Chemical Co. (acquired in 1995), Callaway Mayo Div., Callaway Chemical Ltd., Vulcan Chemicals, and Vulcan's sodium chlorite business.
"At a time when the choices among chemical suppliers are shrinking for the industries we serve," says Vulcan chairman/CEO Donald M. James, "Vulcan is forming this full-service business to give our customers a new and better alternative."
