SASCO Chemical, a Polymer Solutions Group (PSG) company, has acquired the wood release agent product line of Michelman, Inc., a major supplier of release agents to the engineered wood market.
SASCO has expanded its business in the wood release agents market over the past several years by leveraging its core competencies around anti-tack products primarily sold into the rubber industry. In 2015, SASCO opened a state of the art release agent production facility in Albany Georgia.
To ensure the smooth transitions of current customers, Michelman will continue to manufacture the acquired products for PSG while the production capacity is ramped up at PSG production facilities.
Over the next few months, SASCO’s legacy engineered wood products and the newly acquired products from Michelman will be integrated into PSG’s Functional Materials business segment. Products will be sold under PSG’s existing brand name, TechKote™.
PSG is a manufacturer of specialty polymers and additives for the rubber, wood, consumer, construction, and medical industries.
Michelman is a global developer and manufacturer of environmentally friendly advanced materials for industry, offering solutions for the coatings, printing & packaging and industrial manufacturing markets.
