Atlanta, Georgia - Lehigh Technologies Inc., is expanding its micronised rubber powder business in Latin America through a distribution partnership with speciality chemicals supplier Andes Chemical Corp.
The deal will increase Lehigh's geographical reach and boost its ability to meet growing demand for its products, Lehigh CEO Alan Barton said.
