Acquisition advances specialization strategy
PolyOne Corporation announced it has completed its previously announced acquisition of GLS Corporation, North American provider of specialty thermoplastic elastomer compounds (TPEs) for consumer and medical applications.
This acquisition complements PolyOne's global Engineered Materials business portfolio and accelerates the company's shift to specialization. The combination of GLS's specialty TPE technology, compounding expertise and brand, along with PolyOne's extensive global infrastructure and commercial presence offers customers enhanced technologies; a broader range of products, services and solutions; and expanded access to specialized, high-growth markets around the globe.
The experienced GLS senior management team will remain and lead the global TPE business unit, retaining the GLS name and brand.
GLS was formerly a family-owned business headquartered in McHenry, Illinois. It has built a superb reputation as a strategic partner to many of the world's best-known companies in developing and marketing highly customized soft TPEs. With approximately 200 employees, GLS has manufacturing facilities in Illinois and Suzhou, China. Annual sales are approximately $130 million.
