PQ Will Combine With Ineos Silicas
October 15, 2007
| A version of this story appeared in
Volume 85, Issue 42
PQ Corp. and Ineos Silicas will combine to create a new producer of silicates and other inorganic chemicals with annual sales in excess of $1 billion. In July, PQ was sold by one private equity firm, J.P. Morgan Partners, to another, the Carlyle Group, in a transaction valued at $1.5 billion. At the time, PQ's annual sales were put at $700 million. The new company will be owned about 60% by Carlyle and 40% by Ineos, a private British firm that is one of the world's largest chemical companies. It will take the PQ Corp. name and be led by Mike Boyce, PQ's current CEO.
