Arkema Acquires Arc Building Products

Arkema announced the acquisition of Arc Building Products, an Irish manufacturing company specializing in tile adhesives, substrate preparation systems, building chemicals, sealants and adhesive solutions. With the planned acquisition of Arc Building Products, Arkema aims to strengthen its position in Ireland's growing construction adhesive market with a broader range of solutions and a local production network. Building on its strong position in Ireland for over 60 years, Bostik is preparing to benefit from significant industrial and commercial advantages through this planned acquisition. The integration of Arc's product line will enable Bostik to expand its portfolio of high-value-added solutions for the growing Irish construction market driven by increasing demand for sustainable housing and renovation.
