    PORT NECHES, Texas—Three subsidiaries of Omya Inc. will distribute SBR produced by Lion Elastomers L.L.C.

    Durr Marketing Associates, Azalea Color Co. and Lipscomb Chemical Co. will distribute Lion's SBR products in the U.S., Canada and Europe. The agreement became effective Sept. 1.

    “We see an outstanding fit between Omya's approach to the markets we serve together and expect that this partnership will improve our market position to better serve our customers in North America and Europe,” Jesse Zeringue, president of Lion Elastomers, said in a statement. “Omya has been a valuable distribution partner for Lion in North America and Europe for our Royalene and Trilene EPDM products. We look forward to expanding that relationship in the U.S., Canada and Europe with our hot and cold E-SBR products.”

    Lion Elastomers manufactures SBR and EPDM rubber, serving customers globally with production plants in Port Neches, and Geismar, La.

    Omya is a global producer of industrial minerals, mainly fillers and pigments derived from calcium carbonate and dolomite, as well as a distributor of specialty chemical products focused on industrial applications in automotive, construction and coatings, and life science. Its distribution network extends across the U.S.

    “We are very excited to extend our relationship with Lion, a leader in SBR products that are critical to the formulations used by many of our customers,” said Tony Colak, CEO for Omya Region Americas.

    Omya has 12 distribution storage facilities and more than 30 sales representatives across the U.S. It operates 150 locations in more than 50 countries with 8,000 employees.
