Sovereign Specialty Chemicals, Inc.
Sovereign was founded in 1996 by WCP, First Chicago Equity Capital and a
well-known senior industry executive to acquire specialty chemical businesses in the
highly-fragmented adhesives, sealants and coatings industries. By focusing on niche
products in attractive markets, Sovereign quickly grew to more than $350 million in
revenues. The company achieved substantial operational savings through on-site
management, reorganization/cost improvements, focused research and development
and technical service. In January of 2000, Sovereign was recapitalized in a $360
million transaction. At that time, Waud Capital Partners sold a significant portion of
its interests but retained 20% of its investment in the newly recapitalized company.
In December 2004, Sovereign was sold to Henkel Corporation for a transaction
value of approximately $575 million.
