Zeochem acquires the Canadian company SiliCycle Inc.

This acquisition strengthens Zeochem’s expertise in the field of high-value chromatography gels and expands its international presence.

Zeochem, the “Chemistry” division of the listed CPH Group (www.cph.ch), has expanded its product portfolio in the field of derivatized chromatography gels with the acquisition of the Canadian company SiliCycle Inc. in Québec. These gels are characterized by outstanding chemical and physical properties and are implemented in chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors. In particular, they are used for liquid chromatography.
In addition to expanding the product portfolio, Zeochem’s presence in markets with above-average growth potential (e.g. India, Asia) will be further strengthened. The CPH Group now has a presence at 15 locations worldwide.

“With the proposed acquisition of SiliCycle, we are consistently further pursuing our Zeochem expansion strategy and are supplementing the Zeochem product range in the chromatography gel field,” says Dr. Alois Waldburg-Zeil, CEO of the CPH Group and Head of the Chemistry Division. “Our assimilation of SiliCycle and its business will also offer us opportunities to utilize synergies in both our production and our worldwide distribution activities.”
