The textile auxiliary business of Garmon Chemicals and its sister company The Italian Job has been acquired by global ingredient company Kemin Industries.
The two companies will be gradually integrated over the next few months, and the move is expected to help Garmon increase its R&D scope, commercial penetration and service level throughout the textile auxiliary global markets. Products will continue to be supplied to apparel and textile customers under the Garmon brand.

Garmon supplies chemical auxiliaries and solutions for the denim and apparel industry and claims to be the first company with GreenScreen Certified formulations. It has also developed a new way of finishing denim that replaces the traditional process of stone washing by spraying enzymes onto garments within closed systems such as washing machines.

“Kemin first became interested in entering the textile auxiliaries industry based on the adjacent technologies the industry has in common with existing Kemin research and products,” says Dr Chris Nelson, president and CEO of Kemin Industries. “Garmon’s global reach, commitment to customer-driven R&D and unique marketing strategy cemented the decision for the acquisition to allow Kemin to enter the market.”
Maurizio Cappellini, president of Garmon Chemicals, adds: “The fusion of Garmon’s undisputed know-how and market reputation along with the R&D power of Kemin and its global footprint is a new industry zeitgeist that provides customers throughout the apparel value chain with unprecedented innovation, solutions and business intimacy.
