Syensqo has finalized the divestment of its Oil & Gas Business Unit to SNF Group. The strategic rationale for the sale is to advance Syensqo’s "pure play specialty" strategy, allowing the company to sharpen its strategic focus and reallocate capital toward its core science-led businesses. For SNF Group, the acquisition represents a significant milestone in its growth strategy, strengthening its competitive position in the global energy market. The integration of Syensqo’s oilfield stimulation chemicals portfolio and its 600 employees provides SNF with enhanced R&D capabilities and access to established customer networks. This transaction ensures the continuity of specialized chemical services for the energy sector while enabling both organizations to optimize their respective portfolios—Syensqo toward diversified high-growth specialties and SNF toward a leadership position in industrial chemical applications.

SYENSQO OIL & GAS BUSINESS UNIT, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2025, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN discount to the average currently observed in the Industry & Manufacturing sector (10.9x).
