M&I Materials, a manufacturing company based out of the U.K., will open their new U.S. headquarters at 3675 Crestwood Parkway, Duluth, in the Gwinnett Place Community Improvement District.

M&I Materials, first established in 1901, provides a range of materials for industry and science to more than 60 countries worldwide. The company works in collaboration with their U.S. based manufacturing partner, Valtris Specialty Chemicals, to produce the MIDEL range of insulation fluids. These fluids are vegetable-oil based coolants used by utilities and manufacturers to provide fire safety and environmental protection.

“The Metro Atlanta region has proven to be a perfect location for our American headquarters,” said Alonso Castillo, President for MIDEL North America. “We’ve already taken advantage of the rich talent pool, by adding technical and sales staff to our team, and the connectivity offered by Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is unparalleled.”

As well as offering the MIDEL materials to the U.S. power generation and distribution market, M&I Materials plans to build upon its existing businesses in the aerospace and nuclear engineering sectors.
