Cabot Corporation has entered a definitive agreement to acquire Mexico Carbon Manufacturing (MXCB) from Bridgestone Corporation. The reinforcing carbons manufacturing facility was commissioned in 2005 and is located in close proximity to Cabot’s current reinforcing carbons facility in Altamira, Mexico, which has operated successfully since 1990. Cabot says the acquisition of MXCB will enhance its global capabilities and support its long-term growth strategy.
The facility can manufacture a range of reinforcing carbon products, providing flexibility to support customer needs and future growth opportunities. Under the terms of the acquisition, Cabot will supply carbon products from MXCB to Bridgestone.
