ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands (19 July 2023) – IMCD N.V. (“IMCD” or “Company”), a global leading distribution partner, formulator of speciality chemicals and ingredients, and solutions provider, today announces that it signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of REPRESENTACIONES DE MATERIAS PRIMAS INDUSTRIALES LIMITADA (“MAPRIN®”).
