Chemours Acquires ICOR International

The Chemours Company has acquired ICOR International, a privately-owned leading supplier of branded, ozone safe refrigerants and related products for HVACR applications in North America. “ICOR has developed an excellent reputation with contractors and equipment owners, has strong brands and an extensive distributor network, all of which will be a valuable addition to Chemours and enhances our ability to meet our customer needs in North America,” said Diego Boeri, vice president of Chemours fluorochemicals business.



 “Chemours is establishing itself as a new kind of chemistry company and we are excited to join them on
this journey,” said Gordon McKinney, vice president of sales and COO of ICOR International. “This
acquisition clearly indicates the strategic long-term value that Chemours sees in our strong brands and
customer-centric approach to the market.”

Chemours brings over 85 years of history and proven leadership in refrigerant science and pioneered
much of the technology that makes air conditioning and refrigeration possible today. Chemours has
demonstrated this leadership by continually delivering more sustainable, high-efficiency refrigerants to
enable its customers to meet changing requirements while still meeting performance needs. Its Freon
and Opteon brands offer the broadest range of refrigerant solutions for new and existing equipment.
