&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"&gt;The acquisition of Starquartz in the United&#13;
 States strengthens Bostikâs presence in the US&#13;
ceramic installation systems market, enhancing its control over a new&#13;
technology with a great future. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bostik.com//_upload/ressources/press___informations/starquartz.jpg" mce_src="http://www.bostik.com//_upload/ressources/press___informations/starquartz.jpg" width="305" height="86"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Starquartz has developed an entirely new urethane technology for&#13;
manufacturing paste glue for tiles. In spite of the recession in the&#13;
construction industry sector, this premium technology has earned a significant&#13;
share of the US&#13;
market in just four years. Its value added for all market players and end users&#13;
as well as its performance levels in terms of sustainable development should&#13;
allow it to become a market leader and be sold in other parts of the world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-US"&gt;This move is part of Bostikâs strategy to develop its business lines&#13;
through high value added products based on new high technologies. It reflects&#13;
the determination of the specialty chemicals division to enhance its mastery of&#13;
materials science and technologies that are environmentally friendly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
