LyondellBasell (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) announced it has acquired Colortech da Amazonia, a manufacturer of color concentrates, additive masterbatches and mineral-filled compounds located in Manaus, Brazil.

“As a well-respected producer of masterbatches, compounds and additives in Brazil, Colortech da Amazonia is known for its innovation, service and quality products.
