Established for almost 20 years, Northwest Dispersions provides quality, cost effective water based, solvent based and plasticiser based dispersions as well as toll products made to meet clients own formulations.

KBS Corporate generated no less than 9 interested parties before a deal was agreed with Staffordshire-based JMB. JMB is the world’s largest manufacturer of Cadmium Pigments with manufacturing sites in the UK and also at their subsidiary, Multicel Pigmentos, in Brazil.

The company was established in 1926 on its current site by Mr. James M. Brown to manufacture zinc oxide.

The deal, which completed just 9 months after the business came to the market, will see JMB expand its product line.

Sonia Cottrell of KBS Corporate managed the deal through to completion and commented on the excellent fit between the two companies based on their shared values.
