J.M. Huber Corp. recently announced that, through its Huber Engineered Materials (HEM) division, it has acquired the Martinswerk business of Albemarle Corp.

Reportedly Huber’s largest acquisition in over 10 years, the transaction includes Martinswerk’s manufacturing facility in Bergheim, Germany, and more than 470 employees.
“This strategic acquisition is well aligned with HEM’s FRA business unit―both from a product and geographic standpoint,” said Jerry Bertram, vice president and general manager, HEM’s Fire Retardant Additive business. “It builds on our existing halogen-free fire retardant offerings and expands the range of products we can provide to customers around the world.”
