DAK Americas, Charlotte, North Carolina, has completed a transaction with IMG Group of Portugal to acquire a controlling interest in Selenis Canada Inc., Montreal.
DAK, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mexico-based Alfa S.A.B., is one of the largest integrated producers of PET (polyethylene terepthalate) resins in the world and a major producer of polyester staple fibers. DAK has five business units: monomers, fibers, resins, specialty polymers and GreenPET. The company operates seven production facilities in North America.
Selenis Canada operates a PET plant that can produce 144,000 tons of PET resin per year.

The transaction has been approved by the Canadian Competition Bureau.
