Jones Day advised TSRC Corporation in its acquisition of Dexco Polymers from The Dow Chemical Company, ExxonMobil Chemical Company, a division of Exxon Mobil Corporation, and certain of their respective affiliates for US$168 million. Dexco Polymers is a manufacturer of styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) selling mainly into the US and Europe. Combined with TSRC's presence in Asia, the acquisition increased TSRC's global footprint, making it one of the top five global producers of SBCs.
