Colonial Chemical Solutions Acquires Integrity Partners Group
Colonial Chemical Solutions has acquired Integrity Partners Group, adding Chemisphere and Chemsolv to expand its Southeast footprint, capabilities, and customer reach in chemical distribution.
Colonial Chemical Solutions, a division of Colonial Group Inc., announced the acquisition of Integrity Partners Group (IPG), a specialty chemical distribution platform that includes the legacy businesses of Chemisphere and Chemsolv.
As one of the largest independently owned chemical distribution and handling companies in the US Southeast, Colonial Chemical will gain an expanded geographic footprint with this acquisition. The move adds complementary assets, capabilities, and expertise to CCS, enhancing its ability to serve customers across more markets and applications.
IPG brings together well-established operating businesses recognized for high-quality systems, disciplined processing, and deep expertise across the chemical supply chain. Chemisphere and Chemsolv have longstanding histories in the industry and are known for their operational excellence, strategically located facilities, and proven ability to support efficient chemical handling and distribution.
“We are excited to integrate IPG’s people, assets, and capabilities into Colonial Chemicals’ existing platform,” said Rob Roberts, President of Colonial Chemical Solutions. “We see this as a natural extension of our chemical distribution business. Our initial focus is a thoughtful integration of IPG into CCS, guided by the proven practices that have driven success across both organizations. Once integrated, our priority is to continue strengthening our customer and supplier partnerships, supporting long-term growth, and continuing to build a world-class chemical distribution and handling network.”
The combined organization will operate as an integrated chemical distribution and handling company, bringing together the assets and expertise of Colonial Chemicals, Chemisphere, and Chemsolv. This integration strengthens customer service capabilities, expands supply chain reach, and enhances operational processes to deliver consistent, high-quality service.
“The IPG team has been deliberately driving improvements, adding capabilities, expanding our reach into desired customer end markets while building a platform to support the growth initiatives of our loyal customers and suppliers,” said Darren Birkelbach, Chief Executive Officer of Integrity Partners Group. “As a strategic component of Colonial Chemicals, I am confident this acquisition represents an incredible opportunity to accelerate the momentum we’ve created and further strengthen its position in the chemical distribution market.”
Operations will continue as usual, with all existing facilities remaining active.
Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.
