Balchem Completes Acquisition
http://www.balchem.com/core/newsletter_details.asp?ArticleID=323
Balchem Completes Acquisition of Akzo Nobel’s European-based Choline Chloride and Methylamines Businesses at Marano Ticino, Italy
New Hampton, New York. May 1, 2007. Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ:BCPC) today announced the completion of its acquisition of the European-based choline chloride and methylamines businesses of Akzo Nobel Chemicals S.p.A. in Marano Ticino. Balchem and Akzo Nobel originally announced this acquisition on April 2, 2007. This facility and business will be operated by Balchem Italia, S.r.l. and employs approximately 75 people in Marano Ticino. In addition, a three person sales force operating out of Balchem Trading B.V. in the Netherlands will have primary responsibility for the marketing, sales and distribution of certain products produced at the facility. In 2006, the Akzo Nobel Marano Ticino business had approximately $35 million dollars (U.S.) in sales.
Balchem is a worldwide leader in the production and sales of various choline chloride products, which are nutritional additives to animal feed and human food products. Methylamines are a primary building block for the manufacture of choline products and have several other chemical applications.
Dino Rossi, Balchem’s President, CEO and Chairman added, “The closing of this transaction marks a tremendous step forward in the evolution and growth of Balchem. This acquisition provides a direct platform for Balchem to meet the growing market needs of methylamines, choline chloride and derivative products for customers via improved global sourcing, regulatory support, marketing and distribution capabilities.”
For more details regarding the closing of this transaction, including the provisional purchase price, see Balchem's Form 8-K filing to be submitted to US Securities and Exchange Commission (www.sec.gov).

My favorite part of this article is: "This revenue, when added to Balchem's 2006 result and its other acquisition in 2007, raises Balchem revenues on a pro forma basis for 2006 to approximately $175 million from $101 million."
Taking into account purely organic growth & identical profit margins, based on past data (see chart in iBox 2004-2006), I am looking for earnings of over $27 million (or $1.56/share), which would put today's p/e at 12. A correction to the current p/e would put this stock at $29/share.
Not a bad rate of return!!! See ya there!!!

Balchem Corporation to Purchase the Marano Ticino Choline Chloride and Methylamines Business of Akzo Nobel
A follow up from my last post...
http://www.balchem.com/core/newsletter_details.asp?ArticleID=319
New Hampton, New York, April 2, 2007 - Balchem Corporation (NASDAQ: BCPC) today announced that its European subsidiary, Balchem, B.V. entered into an agreement under which it will acquire the choline chloride and methylamines businesses located in Marano Ticino, Italy from Akzo Nobel Chemicals S.p.A. Akzo Nobel is a global leader in the chemical industry, and its Marano Ticino operation employs approximately eighty people, manufacturing and distributing choline, methylamines and derivative products to customers around the world.
"This acquisition provides a production platform that will enable us to better serve the expanding worldwide human and animal choline chloride demand and it also adds a direct commercial European presence, which we now deem necessary. In addition to choline nutritional products, we gain access to production and technology for methylamines, metam sodium and other products for various industrial applications. This platform should provide many opportunities for Balchem to leverage its global growth plans,” said Dino A. Rossi, President, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Balchem.
In 2006, this Akzo operation realized approximately US $35 million in revenue. This revenue, when added to Balchem's 2006 result and its other acquisition in 2007, raises Balchem revenues on a pro forma basis for 2006 to approximately $175 million from $101 million.
Choline chloride is an essential nutrient for optimum animal growth, and is integral in building, regulating, and maintaining cell membrane integrity and porosity. It also acts as a lipotropic agent, which aids in the utilization and outward transport of fat in the liver. Choline chloride and its derivatives are also used in many other industrial applications. Methylamines are used as raw materials for the production of choline chloride and also widely used in many chemical and industrial applications.

Balchem Corporation Purchases Certain Business Assets of Chinook Global Limited
With this acquisition, I think Balchem will become the primary choline (vitamin B4) producer in North America... Also, they just announced earlier this month that they would be purchasing Akzo's choline / methyl-amines business in Italy... thus vastly increasing their global market share of choline in just the past few weeks.
Good stuff. Good stuff indeed.
