Builders Merchants Journal At the forefront of publishing to the UK merchanting industry for more than 95 years
Leeds based building chemicals people Everbuild Building Products have acquired the FEB and AQUASEAL brand names from BASF Construction Chemicals.
The purchase includes all intellectual property, goodwill and certain key product formulations.
BASF closed down the Feb operation in Swinton in October and Everbuild will be introducing a re-vamped range of FEB branded construction chemicals for customers in the UK and Ireland, manufactured to the same standards, in the next few weeks.
Everbuild managing director, David Seymour, said: “As a more specialist construction brand we see the Feb range as perfectly complementary to the wider Everbuild Sealant, Adhesive and Chemicals range, and while it is a strange feeling to have bought a brand name that’s been one of your biggest competitors for many years, we know first hand how strong the Feb name is with major contractors, specifiers, local authorities and general builders.”
