US' Huber acquires RJ Marshall's flame-retardant assets

J.M. Huber Corporation is pleased to announce the acquisition of The R.J. Marshall Company’s Alumina Trihydrate (ATH), Antimony-free flame retardant, and Molybdate-based smoke suppressant assets. This acquisition will be incorporated into the Huber Advanced Materials (HAM) strategic business unit of Huber Engineered Materials—an operating company of J.M. Huber Corporation. These assets will enhance HAM’s product portfolio and strengthen its position as a leader in the North American market of flame retardant and smoke suppressant technologies.

The acquisition includes R.J. Marshall’s Alumina Trihydrate and Marshall Additive Technologies product lines (excluding those containing antimony trioxide). These products are known for their high quality and performance. HAM will integrate these products into its existing portfolio, providing customers with a seamless transition and continued access to the materials they rely on. The acquisition will bolster HAM’s ability to effectively meet the evolving needs of its customers and enables HAM to offer more cost-effective replacements for antimony trioxide. 

“This acquisition underlines HAM’s strategic commitment to grow our halogen-free fire retardant and smoke suppressant portfolio and expand our product offering for our customers,” said Martin Schulting, Global Vice President Sales & Marketing at Huber Advanced Materials. 

“We are excited to incorporate R.J. Marshall’s antimony-free fire retardant and smoke suppressant products into the HAM portfolio,” said Fidel Agbor, Director of Global Product Management at Huber Advanced Materials. “This acquisition aligns with our strategic goals and will enable us to better serve our customers with an expanded range of high-performance materials.”

Huber Advanced Materials is committed to ensuring a smooth transition for all customers. The integration process will include comprehensive support and communication to address any questions or concerns.
