Cinven has today completed the acquisition of CHRYSO, a global specialty chemicals group for construction materials.

Cinven’s Industrials and French teams identified CHRYSO as a compelling investment opportunity based on the Group’s strong market position in an attractive industry segment; its successful track record of acquiring and integrating businesses; and its excellent innovation capabilities. CHRYSO is well positioned to benefit from the growing infrastructure spends in emerging countries, as well as housing market recovery in Europe and the US.

CHRYSO represents the 4th investment from The Sixth Cinven Fund.
