We are a company where talented people thrive; customers benefit from our excellent service and value-added solutions; and our neighbors respect our good stewardship of the environment. Unlike many chemical companies, we’re not interested in undertaking years of expensive research and development to create the next hot chemistry. Instead, we thrive by acquiring stable, mature chemical businesses operating in markets under-appreciated or even ignored by larger chemical companies. Since our founding in 1985, we have completed eleven separate acquisitions in three target markets, gaining invaluable experience and wisdom in all phases of the acquisition and integration process. We know from experience what it takes to acquire and optimize businesses and we become that much better with each and every acquisition we complete. Please visit Our History for more on how KMG became who we are today. A Disciplined Approach to Growth We won’t acquire businesses, even attractively priced ones, if they don’t fit into a larger strategy of consolidation. We aim to initiate the consolidation process in a particular niche segment of the specialty chemicals industry and we only seek out those businesses which meet our stringent set of strategic and financial criteria. To better understand our strategic approach, please see our acquisition checklist below. If a potential acquisition fails to meet even one of these criteria, we must move on to the next candidate…and there are plenty to choose from in the highly fragmented specialty chemicals industry. While rigorous and time-consuming, our disciplined approach helps ensure that any acquisition we do make has the highest possible chance of success and will generate long-term value for our shareholders. Strategic Criteria Mature, niche products Established commercial uses Growth potential Consolidation opportunity and clear path to market leadership Barriers to entry Financial Criteria Strong cash flows Margin expansion potential through operating efficiencies Modest R&D/capital expenditure requirements Reasonably priced acquisition multiples About Our Businesses Corporate Responsibility News, Events & Blog Investors Careers © 2015 KMG Chemicals | KMG Chemicals Corporate Offices: 9555 W.
