Arxada enhances customer and market focus in Microbial Control
Arxada has created two business units: Consumer Microbial Control (‘CMC’) and Industrial Microbial Control (‘IMC’) from its existing Microbial Control Solutions (‘MCS’) business.
The new structure reinforces Arxada’s strategy to strengthen its microbial control business and improve its customer focus following the significant expansion of the business through the merger with Troy Corporation and acquisition of Enviro Tech Chemical Services, both completed in December 2021.
The CMC business will encompass the Hygiene, Home and Personal Care, Wood Protection, Crop Protection, and Food, Beverage and Water business lines and will be led by Jérôme Charton. He joined Arxada from Ecolab, where he was President of the international organisation, with responsibility for the company’s operations outside of North America.

The IMC business will consist of the Paints and Coatings and Material Protection business lines, including specialty additives for Plastics, Metal Working Fluids, and Oil and Gas. The business will be led by Jean-Michel R. Gauthier, who joins Arxada from Akzo Nobel, where he was Vice President / Managing Director, Marine, Protective & Yacht Coatings.
