Alchemy Polymers & Resiplast US Join Forces to Bring You Alchemy-Spetec

Posted by Stephen C. Barton on Jan 20, 2017 11:30:00 AM

Alchemy-and-Spetec-Logo.pngBack in 2012, after three decades in the industry, I decided to start Alchemy Polymers. I wanted to focus specifically on injection resins for sealing leaks, stabilizing soil, and lifting/leveling concrete slabs. Armed with a clear vision for higher quality products and better tech support, my team and I have dedicated ourselves to providing customers with the powerful polymers and painless procedures they need to achieve the rapid results their projects demand. Due to this laser focus, we’ve experienced tremendous growth in just a few short years. I’d like to take a moment and thank all of the contractors, municipal managers and engineers who have supported us over the past half a decade.

Our success hasn’t gone unnoticed. This past spring I was approached by Resiplast US/Spetec to discuss a potential partnership. ResiplastUS/Spetec is widely known for their extensive line of polyurethane and acrylic leak seal and water stop products. After months of discussions, negotiations and planning, I’m pleased to announce that Alchemy Polymers and Resiplast US/Spetec will join to form a new business called Alchemy-Spetec. What this means for you: More products to choose from and more technical staff to help with your questions and projects.

I'll leave you with the official press release below...

Joint Venture Between Alchemy Polymers and Resiplast US

Resiplast US Inc. (HQ in Cyprus Texas) and Alchemy Polymers (HQ in Tucker Georgia) have concluded a joint-venture by which the business activities of Resiplast US Inc. and those of Alchemy Polymers will be centralized in a new company: Alchemy-Spetec. 

The joint-venture will be created on a 50/50 basis and will be led by Stephen Barton, the owner and managing director of Alchemy Polymers. 

Resiplast US Inc. started its activities in the United States early 2014 selling the Spetec range of injection resins manufactured in the Belgian production unit of Resiplast. 

Because of the increased business activity of Resiplast in the States, the company decided to start local manufacturing of these products in the States, hence the creation of the joint-venture. 

The Spetec range of products will be produced in the factory of Alchemy Polymers, which will be contributed to the new company. In addition, Alchemy-Spetec will allow Alchemy Polymers and Resiplast to manufacture and market complementary products and to drastically strengthen their presence in the US market. 

The integration and strengthening of the commercial teams of Alchemy Polymers and Resiplast US will be a benefit to the growth of the new company in the market. 

Resiplast Inc. is a subsidiary of the Belgian Koramic Construction Chemicals.

Quote from Stephen Barton, owner and managing director of Alchemy Polymers:

“I am very happy with the alliance with the Koramic-group and more specifically with the engagement of the management team of Koramic Construction Chemicals. Besides bringing in a complementary and new range of products, they contribute to the new company with a vast knowledge and experience in our industry.” 

Quote from Guy Colson, CEO of Koramic Construction Chemicals: 

“I am very pleased that I can work together with Stephen Barton who I’ve come to know as an excellent entrepreneur and manager. The synergies created by this joint-venture will provide extra benefits for our customers. Together we will be able to grow our joint business faster."
