Chemical giant Brenntag last month acquired Quimica Delta, a Mexican distributor that supplies base stocks and other ingredients to the lubricants industry, including alcohols, polyethylene glycols and silicones. Brenntag, which is based in Germany, did not disclose the price of the deal but said Quimica Delta had U.S. $368 million in sales in 2023. The latter company serves a wide variety of industries in addition to lubricants.
