HarbisonWalker Sells to Global Firm

A refractory with plants in Mexico, Vandalia, and Fulton is being sold.

HarbisonWalker International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Global Industrial Technologies, Incorporated is being acquired by Platinum Equity.

In July, Platinum Equity acquired Imerys SA’s High Temperature Solutions business, a provider of refractory solutions.

HarbisonWalker and High Temperature Solutions will combine into a global business.

Platinum Equity is a global investment firm with a portfolio of approximately 60 operating companies serving customers globally.

The acquisition is expected to be complete in the first half of 2023.
