Lonza completes acquisition of Arch Wood Protection
Lonza Group, a supplier to the global life sciences, healthcare and pharmaceutical industries that is headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, has completed the acquisition of Arch Chemicals, and its worldwide interests, including Arch Wood Protection's South African operation, Arch Wood Protection (SA).
The combined business will offer a significantly broadened range of active and approved ingredients, backed by formulation expertise, explained Arch Wood Protection South Africa GM, Doug Sayce. "Our combined organisation brings together world class product stewardship and regulatory expertise to support our entire product portfolio. Moreover, we have broadened our global footprint, so we can serve the South African market with a best-in-class global supply chain, additional manufacturing facilities and expanded technical customer support."
Business as usual
"We will remain Arch Wood Protection SA and we will be an integral part of Lonza's new Microbial Control business sector. We will continue to support our current brands both regionally and globally. Longer-term there will be product introductions, technical developments and marketing innovations that will be beneficial to our customers," he added.
"For now, it will be business as usual while we work to fully integrate our operations under Lonza. Customer orders and inquiries should continue to be placed with their regular contacts," Sayce said. "We are dedicated to making a smooth transition as we integrate our operations, and we will provide updates along the way."
