CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Dynacast is delighted to announce that on or about September 30, 2014, Kinetics Climax, Inc. will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Dynacast International Inc.

"This acquisition establishes Dynacast not only as a premier precision component manufacturer globally, but also as a front-runner in the growing Metal Injection Molding market," stated Simon Newman, Dynacast's Chief Executive Officer.

Kinetics is a North American leader in the Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Industry. The business is synonymous with quality and performance, and brings exciting technology and experience to Dynacast.

Kinetics' experience in complementary markets, including the medical and automotive industries, aligns with Dynacast's expertise and the acquisition is expected to be a mutually beneficial relationship for both companies and their customers.

Dynacast's in-house tooling expertise and design innovation will enhance Kinetics' MIM manufacturing processes. In turn, by leveraging Kinetics' technology and MIM experience, Dynacast will be able to accelerate the development of their own existing MIM operations, adding even greater value to their customers and solidifying their position as a leading multi-faceted supplier in the global precision metal marketplace.
