Thermoset – Sulzer Metco

Sulzer acquires the assets of the carbon business of Thermoset Inc. in Mequon, Wisconsin, USA. The acquisition was signed and closed on December 26, 2012. In 2012, the acquired business achieved sales of around USD 18 million (approximately CHF 16 million) with 35 employees. This acquisition complements Sulzer Metco’s high-performance carbon friction product line with a well-proven woven carbon friction material. It also strengthens Sulzer Metco’s position in the global truck and passenger car market. Sulzer’s global presence will foster the worldwide market penetration of Thermoset’s products.
