This acquisition will expand Industrie Polieco – M.P.B.’s capabilities in performance polymers and enhance its offering to the global coatings value chain.
The Compound Company BV has reached an agreement to sell 100% of its shares to Italy-based Industrie Polieco – M.P.B. S.p.A., a major European producer of piping systems and specialised resins used extensively in coating applications. The transaction is expected to close by the end of December 2025, pending customary regulatory approvals and the required consultation process with The Compound Company’s works council under Dutch law.
The Compound Company operates manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands and Germany and is known for its high-performance polymer compounds and chemically functionalised polymers used across a broad range of industrial sectors. Of particular relevance to the paints, coatings and surface-protection industries are its Yparex® impact modifiers, compatibilisers and coupling agents, which serve as essential additives in coating-related compound formulations, as well as adhesive resins for tie layers in co-extruded packaging and protective laminates.
“We are very excited about having this future new owner. Industrie Polieco – M.P.B. is a family-owned business with a long-term view in everything they do, which perfectly matches the company culture from The Compound Company. We are impressed by the success that Industrie Polieco – M.P.B. has achieved since it was founded in 1977. Our combined technologies and know-how will strengthen our offering and create a broader platform for grafted polymers. Our portfolios are highly complementary and combine to a more complete product offering. We look forward to collaborating with the bright and knowledgeable people of Industrie Polieco – M.P.B. in helping us to further achieve our strategy and goals for global growth,” has stated Simon Put of Managing director of The Compound Company.
