Everchem Acquires Specialty Products International

SPI’s Ed Galla and Everchem’s David Patten

Everchem, LLC, a successful and expanding North American specialty chemical supplier providing formulated solutions and raw materials for the urethane and epoxy markets, has acquired Specialty Products International (SPI).

SPI has an extensive product catalog in the urethane specialty additives market. The official announcement from Everchem, LLC was made on July 24 at 8AM EDST. The move to acquire Specialty Products International first started in September 2022 as both company principles – David Patten, CEO / CFO Everchem and Ed Galla, President of Specialty Products International – realized that SPI’s unique product line of solution-based catalyst and additive technologies aligned well with Everchem’s commercial strategies.

Ed Galla expressed: “Never did I realize when SPI started up 30 years ago, with our objectives of improving customers’ operations and helping customers capitalize on opportunities, that SPI would be as large and successful as it is today.  Based on SPI’s positions in polyurethane additives and specialty chemicals, Everchem is a natural partner to continue and expand on the ‘SPI . . . Dedicated to our Customers’ tradition under the Everchem name. Everchem will be supplying the same products, technologies, and services that SPI’s customers have been accustomed to for decades.”

The Everchem strategy for growth continues to build momentum with our customer centric specialty chemical supplier model. “The acquisition of the SPI business is part of our larger goals bringing highly valued, solutions based chemical technology to the vast polyurethane markets,” as detailed by Del Felter, Vice President Market and Business Development. “The SPI additive technologies product line coupled with their unique applications expands the Everchem customer base and provides additional product placement opportunities for our existing customers.”

The deal was signed June 26 as both companies strive to make a seamless transfer of assets during the next 60 days. Details regarding the deal’s specifics were not provided to the media.
