Wolman Acquisition Completed

Acquisition of the Koppers Wolman Division from Beazer plc for a purchase price in excess of $67 million by the Timber Protection Division of Hickson International plc has been completed.

Hickson International. a $600 million British public company, employing some 4,000 people worldwide. formed a new United States subsidiary, Hickson Corp., to make the acquisition. Hickson Corp. will control all of the group's timber protection activities in North America.

Hickson's commitment to timber protection is extensive. Its Timber Protection Division. a world leader in timber treatment technology and manufacture, sells timber preservatives and treated timber products. It operates in l9 countries, and sells in more than 70. Dr. James Christie is chief executive.

Joe Kusar, former general manager of the Wolman Division, has been appointed executive vice president of Hickson Corporation. William J. Baldwin, Kenneth E. Cogan and F-rank M. Klasnick have been named vice presidents, Keith Knowling, president of Hickson Building Products Ltd., Canada.

Howard Elkins, president and CEO of Hickson Corp., initiated a new directive that by year end will bring together research, product development, engineering and technical services at a new facility located near the existing Conley, Ga., manufacturing site. Elkins commented that "this facility will work to insure that Hickson's chemistry and engineering technology remains at the leading edge of this industry."

Focused activities at this new center in metro Atlanta will include CCA improvements; fire retardant evaluation and development; fully computerized pilot plant process testing; accelerated exposure testing; evaluation of new preservative systems; and improved methods of fixation and metal recovery. "Due to these combined efforts," Elkins stated, "no other wood treating chemical manufacturer in the world will have the depth of experience and technical resources to offer its customers."

The management team behind the Wolman program will remain basically the same. Over 20 key employees will relocate to Atlanta within six months.
