ST. LOUIS, MO – Perimeter Solutions, one of the world’s leading producers of fire retardants, foams, and water enhancing gels for managing wildland, industrial, and municipal fires, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Solberg, the firefighting foam products division of Amerex Corporation.

Perimeter Solutions will integrate Solberg’s global operations within its existing manufacturing and sales ecosystem to expand its global technology and supply position in fire suppressant foam technology.

“We are excited to join the Perimeter Solutions family. As we looked for the right partner to continue our journey it was important to find an organization whose core values aligned with ours,” stated Solberg’s President Bill Smith. “Perimeter Solutions is that partner.
