Chroma Color Corporation continues to grow its manufacturing footprint along with its portfolio of colorant and additive technologies with its recent acquisition of Spectra Color, Inc., a custom manufacturer of colorants and pre-colored resin compounds. Spectra also manufactures a proprietary resin primarily made from linear low-density polyethylene, predominantly used in the rotational molding industry.

Located in Corona, California, Spectra is a leading provider of masterbatch and color-matching services with custom blending capabilities. Founded in 1976, they have supplied the plastic industry with high quality thermoplastic compounds, colorants, additives, and value-added resins for over 45 years. Spectra serves diverse end-markets, including medical, healthcare, agriculture, consumer products, among others.

Spectra CEO, Bob Shedd, said, “We are thrilled to join forces with Chroma Color. Chroma’s strong market reputation and shared vision for the business make this partnership a perfect fit. By combining  our technological expertise, we can deliver a powerful competitive advantage, enhance performance, and create even greater value for our customers.”
