A-Gas Acquires Diversified Pure Chem

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A-Gas has acquired Diversified Pure Chem (DPC) Llc. headquartered in
Rhome, Texas. DPC is an industry leading reclaimer and supplier of
refrigerant gases. They have a national reach operating out of 13
refrigerant collection and distribution hubs and their 40,000 sq. ft.
separation and blending facility in Texas. DPC offers a full line of
refrigerants including the leading technologies in HCFC and HFC
replacements.

As the USA refrigerant market faces future regulations of
environmentally sensitive gases including the continued phase down of
R22, this alliance brings together A-Gas existing Total Solutions®
offerings with the established recovery, reclamation, manufacturing and
sales expertise of DPC.

Monte Roach, President/CEO of A-Gas Americas, commented, “DPC brings us
best-in-class separation and blending capabilities along with a
complementary go-to-market approach and customer access. DPC brings a
highly-experienced staff of 45 people that expand our industry knowledge
and services. Our combined customers across the country will experience
a significantly increased Total Solutions approach to their supply and
reclamation needs. With the acquisition of Rapid Recovery in 2016 and
the addition of DPC, A-Gas will become a clear leader in refrigerant
recovery, reclaim and separation in the US. This is one more important
step in creating an organization that delivers global expertise on a
local scale.”

The acquisition marks the fifth in the US and the eighth worldwide since
2012 for A-Gas Group International, the UK-based parent company. It is
also the first acquisition by A-Gas since KKR, a leading global
investment firm, invested in the company in August 2017, in partnership
with Group management, with the aim to further accelerate the growth of
A-Gas.

The business will be integrated into A-Gas over the next several months.
During that time, Bruce Ernst, VP Business Development will serve as
Acting VP/GM of DPC.
