Hawkins, Inc. completed the acquisition of the assets of Redbird Chemical, Inc. on December 3 2025, adding a well‑connected distribution network in eastern Texas to its Water Treatment and Industrial Solutions segments.
The deal, whose financial terms were not disclosed, is described as a “tuck‑in” that expands Hawkins’ footprint in Texas and strengthens its position in the water‑treatment market by combining Redbird’s industrial chemical distribution with Hawkins’ specialty ingredients and blending capabilities.
Patrick H. Hawkins, the company’s CEO, welcomed the Redbird team and emphasized the company’s commitment to maintaining local community connections while pursuing strategic growth. He noted that the acquisition will accelerate growth in the South and reinforce Hawkins’ transformation from a bulk chemical distributor into a specialty‑ingredients and water‑treatment powerhouse.
The transaction is expected to contribute incremental sales and margin growth in the coming quarters, supporting Hawkins’ broader strategy of expanding high‑margin specialty businesses. The acquisition aligns with recent M&A activity, including the 2021 purchase of NAPCO Chemical and the 2024 acquisition of Intercoastal Trading, and is part of a broader effort to strengthen the Water Treatment segment.
While the deal value was not disclosed, the acquisition is significant for Hawkins’ geographic expansion and for deepening its service offering to existing customers, positioning the company for continued growth in high‑margin specialty markets.
