 Sale completes divestiture of non-core industrial wax business
MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., May 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Honeywell announced today that it has sold its industrial wax operations in the United States to The International Group, Inc. (IGI).
Under terms of the transaction, Honeywell sold its wax operations in Farmers Valley, Penn., Titusville, Penn., and Marshall, Texas, to IGI, a leader in the technology, development and manufacturing of petroleum based wax products based in Toronto, Canada. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The sale to IGI completes Honeywell's divesture of its non-core industrial wax business. In April, Honeywell sold its European and Asian operations to Paramelt BV. The transaction does not include Honeywell's Specialty Additives business, which sells A-C® performance additives, Rheochem® customized lubricants for the vinyl processing industry and Lumilux® luminescent pigments.

The divestiture is part of Honeywell Specialty Materials' continued execution of its plan to focus investment on select core businesses built around growth platform technologies including fluorines, advanced fibers and composites, reagents, electronic materials and barrier solutions.
