FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Conshohocken, PA (December 27, 2021) Van Horn, Metz & Co., Inc.,
(VHM) a globally-sourced, specialty raw material distributor for paints,
coatings, plastics and inks, is pleased to announce the acquisition of
Ivanhoe Industries, Inc. of Tullytown, PA, a distributor of industrial
chemicals for personal care, rubber, elastomers and lubricants.

December 23, 2021.

“Van Horn, Metz engaged in discussions with Ivanhoe Industries to
offer customers a more complete palate of specialty raw materials,” said
