U.S. Chemicals, a Darien-headquartered national distributor of specialty chemicals, has been purchased by Maroon Group LLC of Avon, Ohio, for an undisclosed amount.
U.S. Chemicals will continue its operations as it has for more than 55 years.
“Maroon Group’s culture, values and business model are a great fit with U.S. Chemicals,” said Carol Piccaro, U.S. Chemicals President. “We look forward to building on Maroon Group’s infrastructure and resources while maintaining the local sales and service offerings to which our customers and suppliers are accustomed. This is an important step for U.S. Chemicals and we look forward to carrying on the legacy of our company.”
Founded in 1960, U.S. Chemicals supplies specialty chemicals for the CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers), lubricants, plastics, and associated industries.
U.S. Chemicals joins Maroon Group’s growing portfolio of companies including Addipel, CNX Distribution, D.B. Becker and Polyram USA.Â
Maroon Group, owned by Maroon Group management and affiliates of CI Capital Partners, a New York-based private equity firm, also specializes in the distribution of specialty chemicals.
The acquisition is Maroon Group’s second this year following the purchase of CNX Distribution of Texas, also a specialty chemical distributor.
