KARACHI: Switzerland-based Archroma, a global color and specialty chemicals’ company, on Wednesday announced it has acquired all remaining minority shares in M Dohmen SA, an international group specializing in the production of textile dyes and chemicals.

A company statement said Archroma first acquired an interest in the capital of M. Dohmen S.A. with a 49 percent share in 2014 followed by an additional 26 percent share in 2017. Now, it has completed the acquisition of the remaining 25 percent share of M Dohmen SA.
