舒尔曼最近宣布已经收购了Perrite集团，收购价约5200万美元。Perrite主营热塑性塑料的制造业务，与马来西亚、英国和法国的运营商都有合作。
此次收购预计将增加舒尔曼亚太地区收入的35%，并且其工程塑料业务将会扩大一倍。它预计业务所产生的协同效应将在200万-300万美元/年之间，同时采购成本以及运行成本都会有所降低。
舒尔曼董事长、总裁兼首席执行官Joseph M. Gingo称：“ APAC工程塑料业务的扩张是我们增长战略的一个关键组成部分，Perrite位于马来西亚的生产设施也会提高我们的服务客户区域以及全球扩张的能力，并且它还提供一个有吸引力的机会，让我们通过欧洲和美洲的业务将产品更好的组合。”
他还表示：“Perrite为我们带来的不仅仅是业务上的扩张，它在其他方面也体现了重要作用，比如在某些重要的市场中也占有领先地位，如电子、电器和利基汽车；拥有已成功建立并且很有信誉的品牌；带来了具有丰富经验的技术队伍；曾具有强劲增长的盈利能力。此次收购将使我们的欧洲利基工程塑料业务迎来新的客户，并且也让我们进军到了一个相邻的市场，即为英国制造的海底输油管道提供绝缘材料。”
Perrite已拥有为电力、汽车和工业市场生产和销售热塑性化合物35年以上的经验，为客户提供多种材质标准和定制复合聚合物产品。Perrite的产品线包括高性能的Ronfalin ABS的品牌和一流的聚酰胺Vitamide。其他主要品牌包括Perlex PerCom聚丙烯、Perlex聚碳酸酯、Styralin聚苯乙烯和Pertal聚甲醛。Perrite拥有员工约220人，在2012财政年度收入1.4亿美元。
Gingo 还称：“舒尔曼的强大的资产负债表和坚实的现金流成为此次收购坚强的后盾。我们的目标是进一步加强我们公司在核心市场的领先地位，让公司继续保持可持续增长。”

A. Schulman, Inc. recently announced that it has purchased the Perrite Group, a thermoplastics manufacturing business with operations in Malaysia, the United Kingdom and France, for approximately $52 million. Perrite was part of the Vita Group portfolio of companies.
The acquisition is expected to increase revenues in A. Schulman's Asia Pacific (APAC) segment by 35% and will double the size of the Company's existing Engineered Plastics business in the region. It is expected to deliver approximately $2 million to $3 million in annual synergies, including initial savings in procurement followed by more significant savings in the area of operational efficiencies.
"Expansion of our Custom Performance Colors and Engineered Plastics businesses in APAC is a key component of our growth strategy, and the addition of Perrite's manufacturing facility in Malaysia will enhance our ability to serve key customers in the region as well as globally," said Joseph M. Gingo, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, A. Schulman. "It also provides an attractive opportunity to leverage our broader portfolio of products through our successful color and niche engineered plastics businesses in EMEA and the Americas."
Gingo continued, "Perrite holds leading positions in attractive target markets such as electronics, appliance and niche automotive; offers well-established and respected brands; brings a highly experienced technical team; and has a strong track record of profitable growth. The acquisition will allow us to strengthen our European niche Engineered Plastics business with the addition of new customers, as well as move into adjacent markets with Perrite's highly profitable insulation materials for the sub-sea flexible oil pipe market, which are manufactured in the United Kingdom."
Perrite has manufactured and distributed thermoplastic compounds for the electrical, automotive and industrial markets for more than 35 years, offering a broad portfolio of standard and custom compounded polymer products. Perrite's product lines include the high-performance Ronfalin ABS brand and prime-quality polyamide Vitamide range. Other key brands include Percom polypropylene, Perlex polycarbonate, Styralin polystyrene and Pertal POM. Perrite employs approximately 220 people and recorded revenues of $140 million in fiscal 2012.
Gingo added, "A. Schulman's strong balance sheet and solid cash flow generation continue to position the Company well to pursue its acquisition strategy. Our goal is to further strengthen our Company's leading position in our core markets and position the Company for sustainable growth. We will remain aggressive in pursuing this strategy and are encouraged by the opportunities in the global acquisition pipeline."
