Lone Star Funds Announces Transformational Dual Acquisitions of RadiciGroup’s High Performance Polymers and Specialty Chemicals Businesses and DOMO Engineered Materials

DALLAS & NEW YORK & LONDON & TOKYO & MILAN & BERGAMO, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lone Star Funds (“Lone Star”) today announced that an affiliate of Lone Star Fund XII, L.P. has completed the acquisition of RadiciGroup, with its High Performance Polymers and Specialty Chemicals business areas, and has signed binding transaction agreements for the acquisition of DOMO Engineered Materials (“DOMO EM”), a business division of DOMO Group, with closing expected to occur imminently.

The simultaneous and highly complex acquisition of these businesses will bring together two established platforms to form a global, independent tier-1 compounder. The future combined business will benefit from a broad and complementary product portfolio, expanded geographic reach and enhanced capabilities to serve a diversified range of end markets, including automotive, construction, consumer and industrial applications.

By combining these businesses, Lone Star will create a stronger, more resilient platform with increased resources to accelerate innovation, enhance customer solutions and support long-term growth. The transaction also preserves critical industrial capabilities across several geographies where teams will benefit from operating as part of this stronger and more resilient platform.

Following completion, the combined platform will leverage well-established brands, including RadiciGroup, DOMO and TECHNYL^®, while continuing to serve customers with a reinforced commitment to quality, reliability and technical innovation.

As part of the transaction, Jochen Fabritius has been appointed CEO of the combined organization. Mr. Fabritius brings over 25 years of industry and consulting experience and has been leading companies in the Lone Star portfolio for the last 10 years.

“This transformational and highly complex transaction underscores Lone Star’s ability to execute differentiated, value-driven investments,” said Donald Quintin, Chief Executive Officer of Lone Star. “Bringing together two leading and highly complementary businesses simultaneously creates a scaled platform with significant industrial and technological capabilities. We believe this combination will not only strengthen the competitive positioning of the business globally, but also provide the resources and stability needed to drive innovation, support customers and protect industrial know-how and employment.”

The completion of the RadiciGroup transaction marks the final step in the process announced in February 2025.
