From our first discussion with Tony [Wibbeler, CEO Bolder Industries] and Nate, [Murphy, CTO Bolder Industries] it was immediately clear the tremendous   value that BolderBlack® rCB technology brings to the market in cost stability, a sustainable raw material and allowing  customers to meet Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives or earn LEED credits This partnership reinforces the passion these two companies share, relative to  sustainability and environmental responsibility. With Thomas Swan’s vision to achieve net-zero carbon by 2030, our partnership with Bolder Industries is the right thing to do for the future of our planet, said Ray Fahmy, President of US subsidiary Swan Chemical Inc.
