Techmer PM has acquired OptiColor Inc., a full-service color compounder specializing in color concentrates and masterbatches for critical applications. The acquisition is designed to further bolster Techmer PM’s position as a leading supplier of colorants and additives for the plastics industry.
Established in Huntington Beach, California, in 1995, OptiColor has expertise in compounding custom concentrates, precolored materials and specialty dyes into transparent, translucent, opaque, clear, white and color products for critical applications, including performance eyewear, military lasers and sustainable lighting solutions.
Jennifer Bryan, who has been with OptiColor since 2012 and became president and CEO when she acquired the company in 2021, has been in the industry for more than 30 years. She will join Techmer PM as vice president of technical sales for optics, laser, lighting and sheet.
The addition of OptiColor follows Techmer PM’s 2023 successful acquisition of Advanced Color Technologies, and the company continues to look to expand its offerings in technical, innovation-driven markets through acquisitions.
