(PRESS RELEASE) COLUMBUS, OHIO – Plaskolite LLC (“Plaskolite”), North America’s largest manufacturer of engineering thermoplastic sheet and profile products, announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Plazit-Polygal, an international pioneer in the design, development and manufacturing of engineering thermoplastic sheets. Plaskolite will acquire Plazit-Polygal’s operations and assets in North America, South America and Europe, with the exception of Plazit-Polygal’s Russian operations. Upon close of the transaction, Plazit-Polygal’s Israel headquarters will serve as Plaskolite’s EMEA headquarters.

Headquartered in Kibbutz Gazit, Israel, Plazit-Polygal manufactures an extensive and highly customized offering of engineering thermoplastic products, including acrylic and polycarbonate solid sheets as well as multi-wall and corrugated sheets. With this acquisition, Plaskolite will expand its geographic footprint in North America, Europe and South America. Plaskolite will broaden its offering with new multi-wall sheet production capabilities, and the company’s added scale and international reach will enhance its ability to serve a growing customer base.

“This transformative acquisition will significantly expand Plaskolite’s global reach and strengthen the high-quality offering we provide our customers,” said Ryan Schroeder, Plaskolite President and CEO. “For more than 70 years, Plaskolite has led our industry focused on customer service, product quality and innovation. The addition of Plazit-Polygal’s talented team and dynamic production capabilities will help us extend our leadership position as we serve a growing base of customers. I am delighted to welcome Amir and everyone at Plazit-Polygal to the Plaskolite family.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Plazit-Polygal as a partner to Plaskolite as we expand our business-building efforts to Israel and the other geographies served by the combined company,” said Tony Pritzker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Pritzker Private Capital. “When my father, Donald Pritzker, founded Hyatt Hotels, he grew a chain of six hotels into one of the world’s largest hotel operators. All of us at Pritzker Private Capital continue to honor the Pritzker legacy by partnering with growth-focused companies to build strong businesses for the long term.”

Thomas Chadwick, Principal at Pritzker Private Capital, added, “This strategic acquisition represents a compelling opportunity for Plaskolite to accelerate its long-term growth, expand into new markets and further enhance its innovation.
