Wilsonart has announced an agreement to acquire Durcon, a manufacturer of laboratory-grade work surfaces. The Taylor, TX-based Durcon provides laboratory tops, student tabletops, sinks and other work surfaces worldwide, and is best known for its durable epoxy resin surfaces. Durcon will operate as a new, independent business unit of Wilsonart.
"We are excited about the future for both Wilsonart and Durcon," said Timothy J. O'Brien, CEO of Wilsonart. "We are investing for growth and adding a great brand, great products and great people to the Wilsonart family. These two organizations are culturally aligned around customer service, which will continue to be a key competitive advantage as we join forces to expand product offerings and reach new customers."
