Arsenal Capital Partners announced the creation of Vertellus Specialties Inc., a specialty chemicals company focused on the manufacture of high growth, high-value products for the agricultural, nutritional, pharmaceutical, personal care and performance materials markets.

Vertellus will combine two existing Arsenal portfolio companies, Rutherford Chemicals, acquired in November 2003, and Reilly Industries, acquired in September 2005, to provide a diverse array of specialty chemicals products through three divisions: Agriculture and Nutrition Specialties, Health and Specialty Products and Performance Materials.

The combined entity will produce fine and specialty chemicals used in the manufacture of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutritional supplements, and personal care products, as well as a broad range of industrial products including plastics, polymers, adhesives, sealants, coatings and inks. Vertellus will be a technology leader in a number of chemical manufacturing and formulation processes, with a large majority of its annual revenue derived from products with leading global market positions.

Vertellus has 758 employees and is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Vertellus also holds a number of industry trademarks, registrations and patents.
