KBR announced today it has acquired Weatherly Inc. (Weatherly), Plinke GmbH (Plinke), and Chematur Ecoplanning Oy (Ecoplanning) from Chematur Technologies AB, owned by Connell Chemical.

"Through these acquisitions, KBR can more fully serve our clients' fertilizer complex solution requirements, as well as expanding our consulting and technical services to improve plant performance throughout the plant's lifecycle. KBR's ammonia and Weatherly's fertilizer capabilities result in a powerful combination of industry-leading technologies and Plinke and Ecoplanning enhance the scope pf KBR's technology solutions across expanded platforms. KBR sees great opportunity to extend these technologies outside North America to new customers and in revamping units of the existing customer base globally, leveraging KBR's global sales team and EPC capabilities," said Stuart Bradie, President and CEO of KBR.

We are pleased to add these technologies and capabilities, as well as the talented staff who will manage them for us within our global portfolio," continued Bradie.
