Italmatch Chemicals (www.italmatch.it) is strengthening its presence in the fast growing Asian market and it is looking to further consolidate its product portfolio by leveraging cross company synergies. Following the acquisition of the Akzo Nobel lube oil and other specialty chemicals additives division at the beginning of 2007, the company has been able to further exploit the top line synergies between the two companies by improving customer penetration. The company is expanding its production internationally, including the third production line for PhosliteTM which started operations in China, and implemented the application process to obtain a license to produce Phosphorous Pentasulfide locally.
