Redelease, a main distributor of specialty chemicals in Brazil, and Hernon, a North American manufacturer of adhesives and sealants, recently announced they have formed a joint venture. Headquartered in São Paulo, Hernon-Redelease will reportedly supply the industrial sector with a portfolio that will initially include 200 items; in the U.S., Hernon has more than 5,000 formulations, many of which are approved by the military.
