May, 11, 2026 - Lone Star Funds announced on April, 30, 2026 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 have signed binding transaction agreements for the acquisition of DOMO Engineered Materials, 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.

Strategic Vision, Leadership and Continuity

The acquisition of DOMO EM follows Lone Star’s acquisition of RadiciGroup’s High Performance Polymers and Specialty Chemicals business units, further reinforcing its position in the specialty polymers sector.

The proposed transaction comprises the full scope of Domo´s Engineered Materials business, including three European manufacturing sites located in Premnitz (Germany), Arco (Italy), and Gorzów (Poland), certain Belgian, German, Spanish, Polish and Indian support functions as well as the international entities operating in Haiyan (China), Mumbai (India), Seoul (South Korea) and Buford (United States).

The transaction further includes Domo´s sales and marketing functions in France, application center in Lyon, covering engineering materials science, and final application development and testing activities, the masterbatch industrial activities as well as associated technical and administrative functions.

As part of the agreement, Lone Star Funds has acquired the intellectual property portfolio of the DOMO EM business, including the TECHNYL® brand, a well-established portfolio providing polyamide compounds (PA6 and PA66) solutions to the technical polymers market for more than 70 years.

The Belle Étoile production assets are not included in the scope of the transaction and remain subject to a separate legal process under the responsibility of court-appointed administrators.

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, Lone Star says.

Lone Star claims it will create a stronger, more resilient platform by combining these businesses, 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, Lone Star states.

Following completion, the combined platform will leverage well-established brands, including RadiciGroup, DOMO and TECHNYL®.

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.
