WEST HAVEN, Connecticut, USA (February 23, 2010)—Enthone Inc., a business of Cookson Electronics, today announced it has become the Canadian distributor for Dipsol America, headquartered in Livonia, Michigan, USA.

Enthone will now offer customers the full lines of both Dipsol and Enthone products and processes, including high-performance zinc and zinc alloy plating chemistries, sealants and more. To support its presence in Canada Enthone has added direct sales and technical service personnel over the last twelve months.
