Shrieve acquires US-based Vertec to boost sustainable solvents

Founded in 2001, Vertec has established a strong reputation as a pioneer in bio-based solvent technology, developing proprietary and patented blends that perform as well as or better than petroleum-based solvents. The company serves a diverse set of end markets, including agriculture, home, industrial & institutional (HI&I), coatings & inks, food, and consumer brands. The acquisition expands Shrieve’s specialty portfolio and deepens its presence across key end markets. Together, the companies are well positioned to enhance capabilities, broaden the combined portfolio, and strengthen relationships with customers and suppliers.

“Vertec has built a strong reputation for innovative and sustainable chemistry, and we are pleased to welcome their team to Shrieve,” said Joey Gullion, Chief Executive Officer of Shrieve. “This acquisition strengthens our ability to support customers as demand continues to shift toward more environmentally responsible solutions, and we’re excited to build on Vertec’s strong technical foundation.”

“We’ve built Vertec around innovation in sustainable solvents, and joining Shrieve provides an opportunity to accelerate that work,” said George “Skip” Laubach, Chief Executive Officer of Vertec. “With access to Shrieve’s broader platform, we can continue advancing our product development while expanding our reach to new customers and markets.”
