The Italian producer of flame retardants Greenchemicals has acquired Polichem, a fellow Italian company specializing in additives for thermoplastic engineering polymers. Polichem's portfolio includes nucleating agents, clarifiers, release agents, impact modifiers, chain extenders, and high-performance stabilizers.

This acquisition enhances Greenchemicals' offerings by integrating new technologies to improve the quality of mechanically recycled polymers into its portfolio of halogen-free, environmentally friendly formulations.

The company's headquarters will remain in Desio, Northern Italy, while Polichem's production facility and application laboratory in Garlasco, Pavia, will become part of Greenchemicals' assets.
