DuPont acquires Laird Performance Materials

By Michelle Froese | July 29, 2021

DuPont announced that it has successfully completed the acquisition of Laird Performance Materials, a global provider in high-performance electromagnetic shielding and thermal-management solutions.

Laird Performance Materials’ offerings complement ICS’ portfolio in flexible laminates, dry-film photoresist, specialty films, and plating chemistries.

“I’m pleased to welcome our very talented Laird Performance Materials colleagues to DuPont,” said Ed Breen, executive chairman and CEO of DuPont. “The addition of Laird Performance Materials significantly strengthens the DuPont Electronics & Industrial (E&I) segment and is another meaningful step in advancing our strategy to grow.”

As previously announced, with 2020 revenues of $465 million and a global workforce of approximately 4,300 employees, Laird Performance Materials will be integrated into DuPont Electronics & Industrial’s Interconnect Solutions (ICS) business.

“This acquisition positions DuPont as an essential partner for major electronics OEMs by combining applied materials science expertise together with application engineering capabilities,” said Jon Kemp, president, DuPont E&I.

He added: “Together, the combined organization will advance our leadership in accelerating the adoption of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, 5G telecommunications, smart/autonomous vehicles, and the internet of things. It also expands our product and solution portfolio across the electronics value chain and builds our expertise in key technologies.”

With the addition of Laird Performance Materials, DuPont is well positioned to leverage its expanded customer base and global scale to increase speed to market, create new efficiencies in the development of integrated and multi-functional solutions, and provide high-value products that will deliver additional growth over the next several years.
