Swan Chemical Inc., a subsidiary of Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd. is now the key North American distribution partner for BolderBlack rCB from Bolder Industries, the pioneer of commercialized rCB from end-of-life tires.

 

Bolder Industries CEO Tony Wibbeler said, “We are always looking for like-minded strategic partners who expand our customer support and service model. Swan Chemical’s parent, Thomas Swan & Co has been distributing, as well as manufacturing chemicals and advanced materials since 1926. Together, we can deliver to more customers, more efficiently so this partnership actually reduces the cost to customers.”

 

As a North American distribution partner within the industrial rubber goods market segment, Swan Chemical, is already integrated with Bolder Industries and delivering BolderBlack products to customers — in fact, Swan Chemical was originally a customer, putting BolderBlack into Swan Chemical’s carbon black masterbatch.

 

After looking at several potential channels that would make it easier and more efficient for customers to access specialty chemicals, Bolder Industries selected Swan Chemical Inc. as their partner. We both have tremendous overlap within the tire and rubber industry, similar growth strategies, and a common view on sustainability. Together, we both have an even better way of engaging with and  developing solutions to customers, by making these products more readily available, said Tony.

 

“We are extremely excited to have been chosen as Bolder Industries’ agent into the North America Industrial Rubber Market. This partnership reinforces the passion these two companies share, relative to sustainability and environmental responsibility. With Thomas Swan’s vision to achieve net-zero carbon by 2030, our partnership with Bolder Industries is the right thing to do for the future of our planet, said Ray Fahmy, President of US subsidiary Swan Chemical Inc.
