The Hill and Griffith Co., Cold Springs, Ky., sold its mineral divisions in Cincinnati, Chicago, Burbank, Ohio, and Birmingham, Ala.

The company will retain its Indianapolis manufacturing location and Cincinnati Summer Street Offices, as well as their international headquarters in Cold Springs. The sale includes several of Hill and Griffith’s proprietary product lines, and manufacture of those products will continue at the Indianapolis, Birmingham and Burbank locations, with distribution available from all the historic locations.

The company said in a press release that the sale would strengthen its core competency with proprietary industrial chemicals, such as release agents.

“This sale gives Hill and Griffith an opportunity to expand its business and relationships in the specialty products, lubricants, release agents and other diversified products and industries,” said executive vice president and COO David Greek Jr.
