Compounding firm Aurora Material Solutions LLC shows no signs of slowing its growth after purchasing Elastocon TPE Technologies Inc., Aurora’s fourth acquisition in two years. For Aurora, acquiring Springfield, Ill.-based Elastocon “increases our presence in thermoplastic elastomers and allows us to build on an existing franchise,” CEO Darrell Hughes said in a May 1 interview at the firm’s headquarters in Streetsboro, Ohio. S&E Specialty Polymers — the Lunenburg, Mass.-based firm that Aurora acquired in late 2017 — also makes compounds based on TPEs. Materials made by Elastocon are mainly based on styrenics and are sold into several markets, including consumer durables, lawn and garden, toys and grips, automotive and medical. “We’re excited about the \[TPE\] platform,” said Hughes, who has more than 25 years of plastics and packaging experience, including stints at GE Plastics and Avery Dennison. The Aurora-Elastocon deal was announced on April 15. Elastocon employs around 50 at a 35,000-square-foot site in Springfield. President and founder Dave Barkus will remain with the firm. Rigid PVC remains a large market for Aurora, which sells those compounds into building and construction applications such as windows, fences, decks and doors. The firm made a bigger move into rigid PVC in May 2018 when it acquired JPI South of Pasadena, Texas. The JPI South deal gave Aurora a presence on what Hughes called “the Gold Coast of vinyl.” It also allowed the firm to access markets further west and to export some of its materials from Texas. Aurora was founded in 1997, and in 2016 was acquired by Chicago private equity firm Wind Point Partners, which has used Aurora as an acquisitions vehicle. In addition to Elastocon, S&E and JPI South, Aurora acquired compounder Reinier Plastics of Marieville, Quebec, in mid-2017. Aurora also operates a compounding plant in Welcome, N.C. Aside from TPE compounds and PVC compounds and alloys, Aurora’s current product lineup includes chlorinated polyethylene alloys, low-smoke flame-retardant concentrates and purge compounds. Hughes said Aurora will continue to look for more acquisitions while also growing organically at its existing sites. He added that when the firm is looking for new deals, “the most important thing is culture — being a customer’s first choice and being totally focused on enabling your customers’ success.” “Having worked at big companies, I know it’s hard to move a large organization and maintain that connection with customers,” Hughes said. “I think at our size that’s easier for us to do. “It’s like that old commercial: special orders don’t upset us,” he added. Hughes also said that Aurora focuses on integration when sizing up deals. “We talk about how we would interact,” he said. “When you put two organizations together, you have to focus on human resources.” At existing sites, according to Hughes, Aurora plans to add production of flexible PVC and TPE compounds in Texas and to increase production of flexible and rigid PVC compounds in Ohio. Earlier this year, the firm completed an expansion and renovation of its Texas plant, including improvements in blending and automation, as well as a new lab. Aurora doesn’t get asked about sustainability as much as makers of single-use plastics do, but Hughes said the topic has come up. “When you look at PVC for sustainability, a PVC deck can last 20 to 30 years, which is longer than pressure-treated lumber, which also uses chemicals,” he said, “and wood windows require more maintenance than PVC windows.” Aurora now employs around 200 at its five locations. The firm doesn’t release sales figures or purchase prices in its deals, but Hughes said that 2019 “is off to a good start,” even though housing starts — which affect construction demand — were “not great” in the first quarter. “There have been some issues with labor being available and some starts being late because of the tightness of the labor market,” he added. “But we’re optimistic about the rest of the year.” ### To obtain reprints or copyright permissions: E-mail: Visit: [Reprints](http://www.plasticsnews.com/article/99999999/STATIC/130109965 "Reprints") **Categories:** News --- ### [Aurora Material Solutions Sets New Standard for Low-Density Cellular Foams](https://www.auroramaterialsolutions.com/aurora-sets-new-standard-for-low-density-cellular-foams/) **Published:** March 20, 2015 **Author:** Aurora Material Solutions **Content:** ## New Product Offering Features Lowest Densities in the Industry STREETSBORO, OH (March 20, 2015) — Aurora Material Solutions Inc., a leading manufacturer of [rigid](https://auroramaterialsolutions.com/materials/rigid-pvc/ "Rigid PVC") and foam PVC, has raised the bar in the industry with a new low-density cellular PVC foam.

The new product is designed to withstand the effects of weathering over the long-term, even in dark colors, offering a highly attractive alternative for a variety of demanding applications such as outdoor trim, windows, decks, siding, fencing, and railing. It offers superior processing characteristics that, for processors, translate into a more consistent coating, less scrap, a faster startup time and a broader processing window. The new PVC/acrylic alloy capstock will debut at NPE2015 in Orlando March 23-27, 2015 (BOOTH #S15061). “We identified a need in the market for a more cost-competitive, long-lasting solution,” said Matthew Kuwatch, vice president of marketing and business development for Aurora Material Solutions. “There are currently many options available, but most of them do not offer the same level of long-term weatherability and resistance to water whitening, especially in the darker colors. From a processing perspective, our product is easier to handle, resulting in significant bottom-line benefits for our customers. We believe we have created the ideal solution by combining the proven processing advantages of PVC with the added UV resistance and weatherability of acrylic.” Designed for use with the company’s cost-effective interior grade RPVC or foam RPVC compounds as substrates, the new pelletized PVC/acrylic alloy capstock compound can be applied thinner than standard RPVC capstock to create an efficient high performance out layer. The compound colors easily to match any customer need and can also be streaked to replicate the authenticity of wood. The capstock can also be embossed. Ideal for use for fencing, siding, decking, arbors/pergolas, windows and doors, the new alloy capstock offers end-users a high-quality, consistent looking product that effectively withstands weather, thereby lasting longer and requiring less maintenance. “The true value of this new product, however, is that it comes from Aurora Material Solutions, which has a long-standing track record for providing unprecedented lead times, superior customer service and reliable in-field technical support that doesn’t end when the product ships,” said Kuwatch. With two of the newest ISO 9001:2008 certified production facilities in the industry and an ongoing commitment to investing in new material technology platforms, Aurora Material Solutions continues to lead the industry in innovation, quality and technical support.

Coupled with Aurora Material Solutions’ experience in extrusion and co-extrusion based TPEs, the merger will allow customers to more easily procure the materials they need from a single source. “Elastocon’s product line offers an alternative to other materials that might be higher cost and over-engineered,” explained Dave Barkus, president, Elastocon TPE Technologies, Inc. “We are proud of our odorless, phthalate and latex free materials and look forward to working alongside Aurora Material Solutions to allow us to strengthen our support network for our customers, including offering quicker shipment and enhanced lab and R&D facilities.” Barkus is excited to play an on-going role within Aurora Material Solutions, helping to strengthen the commercial and technical teams’ ability to drive growth. This is the fourth acquisition for Aurora Material Solutions in two years and will continue to expand the company’s product breadth and depth, not only in thermoplastic product adjacencies but also geographically. “Our goal with each acquisition is the same: to continue to be the first choice in polymer solutions,” said Hughes. **Categories:** Event, News --- ### [Aurora Material Solutions Completes Texas Facility Expansion](https://www.auroramaterialsolutions.com/aurora-completes-texas-facility-expansion/) **Published:** March 1, 2019 **Author:** Aurora Material Solutions **Categories:** News --- ### [Aurora Material Solutions Breaks Ground for Streetsboro, Ohio Expansion](https://www.auroramaterialsolutions.com/aurora-breaks-ground-for-streetsboro-ohio-expansion/) **Published:** August 8, 2022 **Author:** dennisonlogin **Content:** ![Aurora Material Solutions broke ground today for the expansion of its operations located in Streetsboro, Ohio.](https://auroramaterialsolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/API_Groundbreaking2-1030x601.jpg "API_Groundbreaking2 | Thermoplastic Compounds & High-Performance Polymer Solutions")STREETSBORO, OH – August 4, 2022 – Aurora Material Solutions broke ground today for the expansion of its operations located in Streetsboro, Ohio.

The [AuroraLite](https://auroramaterialsolutions.com/brands/auroralite/ "Auroralite™")™ product line is comprised of rigid cellular PVC foam compounds in the 0.35 – 0.80 density range – one of the lowest in the industry. These materials are available in both free-foam and Celuka-based formulations. The end result is a lightweight, yet durable profile that is ideal for an array of interior or exterior applications, including decking, railings, garage and wall trim, arbors and pergolas as well as for custom use. The [AuroraShield](https://auroramaterialsolutions.com/brands/aurorashield/ "AuroraShield™")™ line of products includes PVC/acrylic capstock compounds that represent a proven solution for long-term weatherability and resistance to water whitening, especially in darker colors. From a manufacturing perspective, these products process with the ease of PVC but provide the superior weatherability of acrylic. It gets applied thinner which results in significant bottom-line benefits for customers. “In order to position our ever-growing exterior weatherable capstock and rigid cellular PVC foam products, we felt that establishing product line brand names would further build awareness and enhance customer trust in Aurora Material Solutions,” said Matthew Kuwatch, vice president of marketing and business development. With two of the newest ISO 9001:2008 certified production facilities in the industry and an ongoing commitment to investing in new material technology platforms, Aurora Material Solutions continues to lead the industry in innovation, quality and technical support.
