Westlake Acquires ACI/Perplastic Group: The Hidden Synergies No One’s Talking About!
In a strategic pivot aimed at expanding its foothold in specialty materials, Westlake Corporation recently announced its agreement to acquire the global compounding solutions businesses of the ACI/Perplastic Group. While the sum of the deal remains undisclosed, the implications are far-reaching. ACI, headquartered in Portugal, is a key manufacturer of compounds for the wire and cable industry, posting net sales of approximately €210 million in 2024. The acquisition, expected to close in early 2026, includes four production sites in Mexico, Portugal, Romania, and Tunisia. This development emerges at a crucial time for Westlake, which is grappling with performance challenges in its Performance and Essential Materials (PEM) segment while simultaneously trying to extract value from its well-performing Housing and Infrastructure Products (HIP) division. Amid volatile global chemical markets and inflationary pressures, this move signifies a potential pivot in strategy. Here’s a breakdown of the synergies Westlake could leverage from this acquisition.
