Novopor Advanced Science will acquire Pressure Chemical Company (PCC), a U.S.-based specialist in high-pressure and niche chemistries.
The deets: Novopor is a contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO), with Innovation Centres in Hyderabad and manufacturing sites located in Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat. Think of it as the behind-the-scenes expert helping companies develop and scale up high-performance chemicals.
The addition of PCC, which has been doing this since 1964, gives Novopor a stronghold in polymerisation, alkoxylation, and other complex chemistries.
The why: Novopor wants to connect early-stage R&D with full-blown commercial production, and PCC fills that gap neatly. It also helps Novopor expand its U.S. footprint and offer global clients a one-stop shop for fine and specialty chemicals.
Zoom out: the specialty chemicals space is heating up, with pharma, materials, and advanced manufacturing industries all demanding more tailored, high-spec chemical solutions. CDMOs like Novopor are racing to offer end-to-end capabilities and acquisitions like this show they’re playing for the long game.
