ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands (20 April 2023) – IMCD N.V. (“IMCD” or “Company”), a leading distributor of speciality chemicals and ingredients, today announces that IMCD Sweden has acquired 100% of the share capital of ACM AB (“ACM”), a distributor of minerals and chemicals.

Established in 2007, ACM is mostly active within the coatings, adhesives, paper, plastics, rubber, and construction industries.

ACM’s business concept is very similar to IMCD’s and we are looking forward to serve our customers and principals with our strengthened organisation.”

“As owners of ACM, we are pleased to continue our company’s journey as part of IMCD and boost our capabilities to better serve our valued customers and suppliers.

Optimal customer value based on our core values of Availability, Knowledge, and Commitment, has been fundamental to our business”, said Bengt Wigermo, co-owner and Tommy Petersson, co-owner.
