Summit Brands Acquires the Pumie® Brand
FORT WAYNE, Ind., Sept. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Summit Brands, a leading manufacturer of niche specialty cleaning products, announces the acquisition of the Pumie® line of abrasive cleaning products from United States Pumice Company. Pumie® joins a strong portfolio of environmentally friendly abrasive cleaning solutions owned by Summit Brands. This acquisition strengthens Summit Brands’ market position and opens doors to new growth opportunities.
Pumie® products are widely used in the professional janitorial and restaurant markets and also distributed through major retailers for use at home. Pumie® is a heavy-duty, non-toxic, scouring product designed to remove the toughest build-up from a variety of surfaces. It cleans through gentle abrasive action and works where other solutions fail. Top uses include removing rust and hard water build-up from plumbing fixtures as well as baked-on food from ovens and grills.
President of Summit Brands, Joel Harter, said, “We are pleased to welcome Pumie® to the Summit Brands family. This acquisition reflects our dedication to providing our customers and consumers with effective, sustainable cleaning options.”
Elizabeth Anderson, a third-generation owner of the United States Pumice Company discussed the acquisition, saying, “Pumie® is a brand that has been trusted by millions for over 75 years, so we did not make this decision lightly. We know that Summit Brands, also a well-respected family-owned company that supplies high quality, sustainable and effective cleaning products, is the right fit for the Pumie® brand moving into the future.”
The acquisition was finalized in late August 2023. Summit Brands will ensure a seamless transition for customers and suppliers.
