Doe & Ingalls, Inc., based in Medford, MA, is a premier supplier of high-purity raw materials to microelectronic and biopharmaceutical manufacturers, and reagents to the laboratory testing market. The company’s Total Chemical Management approach focuses on helping customers improve their materials management efficiencies and quality programs.

The acquisition brings together two companies that have similar business models and philosophies. The combined company will gain efficiencies that will allow it to further capitalize on strategic growth opportunities as well as offer an enhanced portfolio of products and services to customers within the chemical raw materials sector. The company’s corporate headquarters will be in Durham, NC with distribution facilities in Danvers, MA; Medford, MA; Jessup, MD; Durham, NC; Tampa, FL and Riverside, CA, enabling it to effectively serve customers with multiple U.S. locations.

“We look forward to joining forces with an outstanding company that we know well,” said Bill Varney, Director of Sales and Marketing, Doe & Ingalls, Inc. “This is a natural combination of two industry leaders, both with a customer-focused vision and remarkably similar philosophies.”

Kevin Jolley, a Managing Director at Capstone, commented, “This combination positions the combined company for continued success as each business becomes a more valuable partner to its customers and vendors. In addition, the combined company will be able to pursue growth opportunities and realize cost efficiencies that were not available to either organization on a stand-alone basis.”
