Lindsay Goldberg-backed EMCO Chemical Distributors agreed to acquire the assets and operations of Pride Chemical Solutions. Founded in 1970 and based in Holtsville, New York, Pride distributes, blends and packages industrial chemicals for customers primarily in the northeastern United States.

The founder-owned business has more than 80 employees and supplies more than 3,000 products to over 1,500 active customers. It operates two distribution and packaging facilities and a dedicated delivery fleet.

The acquisition would extend EMCO’s geographic coverage in the Northeast. The agreement was announced September 23 and remains subject to customary closing conditions.
