Westlake acquires the ACI Compounding Solutions business.
“The combination of ACI with Westlake’s existing compounding business will present an excellent strategic fit and opportunity to integrate with our Housing & Infrastructure Products (HIP) business. It will allow us to further expand Westlake Global Compounds and add new speciality products and technology to our existing portfolio,” said Jean-Marc Gilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Westlake Corporation. “ACI is an impressive business with an outstanding reputation for its innovative, high-value products. We look forward to working with their talented team once they join Westlake.”
The transaction is expected to close in early 2026.
