Coast Southwest (Stand 633) is pleased to announce the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of the Paso Robles, CA, surfactant manufacturing facility. Currently, the plant manufactures surfactants used in a wide range of personal care and industrial products.

“This surfactant business is virtually in our DNA,” said Joseph C. Cimo, president of Coast Southwest. “I have had over a 30-year affiliation with this site under its previous ownership and before that with prior owner Chemron Corporation. Acquiring Paso Robles is extremely complementary to our business strategy of geographic and functional expansion. We believe that Coast Southwest offers the best prospects for the long-term viability of the site, its employees, and the region economically.”

This acquisition follows the official opening of Coast Southwest’s new state-of-the-art corporate headquarters in Irving, TX.

“In a single month, we have completed the two most significant events in Coast Southwest’s 38-year history,” Cimo said. “Our third-generation business has grown from a regional chemical distributor with West Coast roots to a multi-location North American powerhouse. Our 105,660-square-foot headquarters has become the center point of Coast Southwest’s strategy. The Paso Robles assets will allow Coast Southwest to improve its value chain position and assert its competitiveness in the marketplace.”

Coast Southwest is dedicated to exemplary leadership in chemical distribution and the widest selection of personal care ingredients in the industry.
