Arkema Acquires Arc Building Products

Arkema has announced the acquisition of Arc Building Products, an Irish manufacturer specializing in tile adhesives, floor preparation systems, building chemicals and sealing & bonding solutions. With the planned acquisition of Arc Building Products, Arkema plans to strengthen its position in Ireland’s growing construction adhesives market with a broader range of solutions and a local manufacturing footprint. Building on its strong position in Ireland for over 60 years, Bostik is poised to leverage significant industrial and commercial synergies 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 needs for sustainable housing and renovation.
