Jennmar Acquires Pyro-Chem’s Mine Sealant Products

Jennmar announced that it has acquired a portfolio of mine sealant products from the Pyro-Chem division of Wright-Mix Material Solutions, LLC (Wright-Mix). Jennmar is a provider of infrastructure products and specialty services to the civil engineering, solar, mining and construction industries and a portfolio company of FalconPoint Partners. Pyro-Chem, headquartered in South Point, Ohio, is a well-known producer of premixed flame-retardant vent sealants for the underground mining industry.

Jennchem, a Jennmar subsidiary and U.S. supplier of underground chemical roof support, rock stabilization and vent sealants, will add Pyro-Chem’s Pro Seal LX, Pro Seal TNT, Pyro-Chem TC and Sealit Spray Mine Sealant to its product portfolio. The acquisition provides Jennchem with additional growth and customer service capabilities through expanded manufacturing capabilities and product offerings.

"We are proud to expand and strengthen our mining sealant offerings with the acquisition of Pyro-Chem's products," said Tony Calandra, Jennmar CEO.

"We believe these high-quality products will help us further our commitment to providing comprehensive solutions to the underground mining industry to benefit our customers. This transaction reflects our long-standing partnership with the Wright-Mix team and builds on our recent acquisition of the assets of the Wright-Mix cement mixing plant in Houlton, West Virginia. I would like to thank Shannon and Kendall Wright for their continued trust, which we value very much."

"Pyro-Chem has been providing trusted mining sealant products for more than four decades, and we are pleased to add this proven line of products to the Jennchem portfolio. We look forward to providing even greater value to our customers with our expanded sealant offerings," added Drew Morgan, Jennchem COO.

"Kendall and I are pleased to announce the sale of Pyro-Chem’s mining sealant products to Jennmar, continuing the strong partnership between our two companies," said Shannon Wright, president and CEO of Wright Concrete and Construction. "Since acquiring Pyro-Chem in 2022, we have improved the consistency and quality of its products. We are confident that these products will continue to provide valuable solutions to the mining industry as part of the Jennchem portfolio."

This acquisition marks the second strategic transaction between Jennmar and Wright-Mix. Earlier this year, Jennmar acquired the assets of Wright-Mix’s cement mixing plant in Houlton, West Virginia.
