Purolite, a US manufacturer of ion exchange resins that is also part of Ecolab, has opened up a new facility in Llantrisant, Wales, tripling its bioprocessing resin production. The company said the extra output will meet growing global demand for biopharmaceutical products.
Ecolab, a US provider of hygiene and infection prevention products and services, has agreed to buy Purolite, a compatriot manufacturer of ion-exchange resins, for roughly $3.7 billion. Once the deal is completed, expected in the final quarter of this year, Purolite will operate as a separate global business unit, reporting into Ecolab’s Life Sciences division.
