Hammond Group, Inc. (HGI), a global producer of lead oxides, Expanders, and specialty chemicals for lead-acid batteries, has acquired 100% ownership of Asia Litharge Sdn Bhd (ALSB), Port Klang, Selangor, Malaysia.
Steve Bolanowski, Executive VP of HGI. “We have produced the specialty battery additive tetrabasic lead sulfate (TTBLS) under our SureCure trade name for years, and new production at ALSB will allow Asian customers to acquire the specialty additive at considerably lower cost than from U.S. sourcing. This transaction also provides HGI an exceptional opportunity to introduce our Freedom Line and K2 Expanders to serve growing Asian demand for high performance expanders, especially the emerging market for partial state-of-charge (PSoC) solutions.”
