Specialty Materials are the engineered building blocks behind much of the industrial world. Technological advances have allowed ordinary sand to become the driving material - as pure silicon - of the electronic age.

The McFarland Dewey Specialty Materials Team has worked in "ordinary sand" in helping St. Gobain divest its protective glass operations in creation of North American Specialty Glass. We have found a new home at Harsco for the country's leading providor of specialty ladle metallurgy additives. We have helped Unisource divest several packaging material operations.

A number of our professionals have a background in Specialty Materials operations with such firms as United States Steel, Placer Dome, and Cabot Corporation. As such, we are able to quickly understand the global operating issues faced by executives in the industry and come up with corporate finance solutions. We look forward to sharing our thoughts with you on the growth and trends across the Specialty Materials industry.
