Silverfleet's Prefere Resins bolts on two Ineos divisions
Silverfleet Capital portfolio company Prefere Resins has acquired Ineos Melamines and Ineos Paraform from UK-headquartered trade vendor Ineos Enterprises.
The transaction comes 11 months after Silverfleet acquired German industrial resin manufacturer Prefere from Capiton and Intermediate Capital Group with capital drawn from Silverfleet Capital Partners II.
The deal will see Prefere expand its international presence beyond its current focus on the European market. Ineos has operations in the US and Germany, in addition to a tolling operation in Indonesia.
The bolt-on acquisition is subject to regulatory approval.
