Volume 92, Issue 31
Solvay has agreed to sell its sulfuric acid business to the private equity firm CCMP Capital Advisors in a transaction that values the business at $890 million. The business, Eco Services, produces and recycles sulfuric acid, the largest-volume chemical in the U.S. It operates six facilities in the U.S. and had sales last year of close to $400 million.
