Ferro Corporation has completed the previously announced acquisition of Belgium-based Cappelle Pigments, a leader in speciality, high-performance inorganic and organic pigments, used in coatings, inks and plastics, for €50.5M (approximately US$54M) on a cash-free and debt-free basis. The acquisition was previously announced on October 17, 2016.
