The investment firm Blue Diamond Capital has bought Rieke Metals for an undisclosed sum. Rieke was founded in 1991 by Reuben Rieke, a University of Nebraska chemist who wanted to commercialize highly reactive zinc chemistry developed in his labs.

Blue Diamond says it sees an opportunity to expand Rieke’s customer base beyond the R&D community to markets such as pharmaceutical intermediates and conductive polymers.
