Covia, a leading provider of mineral-based and material
solutions for a range of Industrial markets, today announced that
it has completed the previously announced acquisition of R.W.
Sidley’s Industrial Minerals Division, which provides high-quality,
silica-based products for use in filtration, industrial, and sports
applications.
The acquisition of Sidley’s silica sand mining operation in
Thompson, Ohio, includes the quarry and reserves, along with
certain buildings, machinery, and equipment needed for operations.
Through this purchase, Covia expands its portfolio of
industry-leading products. For example, customers seeking best
quality bunker sand for golf courses now have a selection of top
brands from one supplier, with Pro/Angle®, a premium angular sand
made from pure silica quartz, now offered along with Covia’s
BESTSAND™ products. Adding the Thompson site to the Covia portfolio
also broadens Covia’s offerings in filter media, premium infill
sand for athletic fields, and construction materials.
“The expanded portfolio and the combined power of our teams will
help our customers secure the high-quality products they need,”
said Barry Esposito, Covia’s executive vice president, industrial
performance materials, U.S. and Canada. “We’re excited to expand
our network and product offerings to support customers of both
companies with more options and great service.”
