Unitor Strengthens Its Engagement In Marine Chemical Market Norwegian-based Unitor Ships Service AS, recently signed a con- tract with Sybron Chemicals Inc. of Birmingham, N.J., to acquire their Gamlen Marine Chemicals activity. Gamlen Marine Chemicals, which is one of Unitor's competitors, has a worldwide network for the distribu- tion and sale of marine chemicals and services. The acquisition of Gamlen Marine is expected to con- tribute to further improvement of Unitor's results during 1988. Unitor already possesses a strong marine chemical activity through its Perolin Marine operation. Together with Gamlen Marine, this operation will now be integrated into Unitor Marine Chemicals as a separate di- vision. Its headquarters will contin- ue to be located at Rickmansworth outside London. The product lines of both Perolin and Gamlen Marine will be integrated into one common line containing the best products from both ranges.
