Arnau Pano, European business director, Lubrizol Engineered Polymers and LifeScience Polymers, notes "Merquinsa's acquisition by Lubrizol enhances the capabilities of Lubrizol Engineered Polymers to meet the needs of its global customers through innovative technologies and an expanded product portfolio.
