The company has also acquired Asbury Carbons, a supplier of natural and synthetic graphite for use in polymers and rubbers, paints and coatings, lubricants, specialty ceramics, friction products and insulation.
Mill Rock has also appointed Gregg A Jones as Asbury chairman and CEO. According to the company, Jones was CEO of mining company EP Minerals. Noah Nichelson will remain president and COO.
“Going forward, we will seek to accelerate growth through further investment in people, applications, processes and systems, as well as through selective acquisitions,” said Jones.
“Our industry is entering a growth phase in which differentiated graphite applications are in high demand, and Asbury is optimally suited to meet those needs,” added Nichelson.
