Shoreline Equity Partners, LLC, a purpose-driven lower middle market private equity firm, has partnered with C&S Chemicals, Inc. This partnership aligns well with Shoreline’s ongoing thesis in the specialty treatment chemicals industry. Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Marietta, GA, C&S Chemicals is a leading provider of water treatment and animal health chemicals. Under the leadership of Rob Chandler, Greg Chandler, and Mike Chandler, the business has grown to more than 90 employees across eight strategically located facilities with a diverse set of customers located throughout the Southeast. With a respected brand and reputation built on integrity, reliability, and dedication, C&S Chemicals has successfully positioned itself as a leading provider of chemical solutions across the Southeast.
“We are very excited to partner with Shoreline to execute on our growth strategy while remaining committed to delivering high quality products and services to our customers. Our partnership with Shoreline will give us the resources to take the next step at C&S and to further expand our reach.”
Moving forward, and in partnership with Shoreline, C&S Chemicals is looking to execute on an aggressive growth plan via organic initiatives and acquisitions. The new partnership with Shoreline provides the Company with both the acquisition experience and access to capital needed to partner with other leading chemical solutions providers across the U.S. The Chandler brothers continue to maintain a significant ownership position in the business and will continue to lead the Company going forward.
