PPG Completes Acquisition of Equa-Chlor
PITTSBURGH - PPG Industries has completed the previously announced acquisition of certain assets of Equa-Chlor Inc., a producer of chlorine, caustic soda and muriatic acid, based in Longview, WA. The transaction value was approximately $27 million.
As of the closing, PPG acquired and now operates the Longview manufacturing plant, with 65 employees, which produces about 220 tons of chlorine per day.
