Swan Chemical Inc. (SCI) continues to grow its rubber masterbatch and additive market presence with the addition of the Robac Technology product range.

Robinson Brothers and Thomas Swan & Co. Ltd. are pleased to announce that from February 2017, SCI will represent the Robinson Brothers Robac Technology brand, which offers an innovative portfolio of rubber accelerators and polymer chemicals, in the USA.
SCI, a wholly owned subsidiary of Thomas Swan & Co.

Robac Technology products provide rubber additive solutions for heightened regulatory demands in terms of health, safety and environmental matters. This approach has resulted in Robac Technology winning multiple prestigious industry awards for innovation. The joining together of a leading innovator with a rapidly growing distributor made this an ideal partnership for both companies.
Adrian Hanrahan, Managing Director of Robinson Brothers, said “We are excited to engage in this new distribution agreement with SCI, which we always viewed as a very progressive company. The USA continues to be a growth market for Robac Technology, therefore, our partnership with SCI. will allow us to enhance the Robac Technology brand and product portfolio across this territory. Whilst we envisage adding new customers through SCI’s strong distribution network, we will also continue to support and build on our relationships with existing customers. This is a win-win for everyone”.
Harry Swan, Managing Director of Thomas Swan said: “I’m delighted that Robinson Brothers have chosen SCI to represent their Robac Technology product range. This is a strong endorsement of SCI and our US distribution team as they continue to expand our rubber additive market presence in the USA and Canada.
