Kodiak continues to execute its growth strategy by acquiring Southern Adhesives and Coatings.
Kodiak, a leading supplier of specialty chemicals for the steel, automotive, energy, and aerospace industries, has further strengthened its position in the market through their acquisition of Southern Adhesives and Coatings.
This is Kodiak's second acquisition in 2024, and it strategically enables them to target the paper and packaging industries. Earlier this year, Kodiak acquired Aztech Lubricants in Oklahoma, where they manufacture specialty powders and process fluids for the wire drawing industry. Kodiak continues to grow in specialty niche markets, offering customers the opportunity to streamline purchasing and consolidate vendors.
Southern Adhesives and Coatings, based in Madeira, OH, is a boutique supplier to the paper and packaging industries. Known for its advanced adhesive and coating product portfolio, Southern Adhesives and Coatings provides specialty products for applications such as laminating paper and cardboard, gluing labels, and lining food packages – including beverage cans.
"By acquiring Southern Adhesives and Coatings we continue to execute our growth strategy – expanding our product portfolio, while consolidating manufacturing in our state-of-the-art facilities located in Cincinnati, Ohio and Wayne, Oklahoma." states Kevin Dickey, CEO of Kodiak. "Our customers around the globe have demonstrated their receptiveness to our capabilities – helping them streamline procurement through consolidation of suppliers who can solve their ever-changing needs."
Integrating Southern Adhesives and Coatings demonstrates Kodiak's commitment to supplying comprehensive solutions that meet diverse industrial needs.
