Warwick Chemicals, a U.K.-based maker of tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), has agreed to acquire International Detergent Chemicals, an Irish TAED producer, from the investment firm Dubag Celtic Holdings. Dubag had purchased IDC from the detergents company Henkel in 2011. IDC has annual sales of about $37 million.

The deal provides Warwick with multiplant capability, says CEO Peter Bradley.
