Volume 88, Issue 45
India’s Kiri Dyes & Chemicals has acquired DyStar’s North American assets for $10 million from private equity firm Platinum Equity. Earlier this year, Kiri bought DyStar’s bankrupt European operations (C&EN, March 22, page 12). Platinum Equity had acquired all of DyStar from joint owners BASF, Bayer, and Hoechst in 2004. A producer of textile dyes and auxiliaries, DyStar North America has annual sales of more than $100 million. Kiri has moved DyStar’s headquarters from Germany to Singapore and is in the process of transferring dye production to India, China, and Indonesia to reduce costs.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
