Graycliff Partners Invests in Diamond Chemical Company

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Graycliff Partners is pleased to announce its partnership and investment in Diamond Chemical Company (“Diamond”), a manufacturer of cleaning and sanitation chemicals serving hospitality, food service, commercial laundry, and other end-markets.
