NAGASE Specialty Materials Expands into Western U.S.

NAGASE Specialty Materials NA LLC (NSM), a hybrid distributor and manufacturer of specialty chemical products, announces its expansion into the Western United States to complete its North American footprint in partnership with NAGASE Mexico.

NSM will expand to ten states, including California, Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona and Wyoming.

Once a regional specialty chemicals distributor focused on the Midwestern U.S., NSM is now part of NAGASE Group, a public company with $6 billion in annual revenue, and has propelled its organic growth through a highly curated supplier and product portfolio coupled with NAGASE’s manufacturing capabilities in industries that impact everyday life – from coatings and plastics to pharmaceuticals and personal care.

“The expansion of NSM to the Western United States is part of our strategic plan. We have leveraged our resources, including our people and supplier relationships, to expand in a purposeful manner and create near-term opportunities for growth, versus the disruption often ensuing from acquisitions which produce conflict and fractured relationships,” said NSM President Mark Miller.
