Western Emulsions Inc. announced it has acquired an existing asphalt emulsion manufacturing facility in White City, OR from Modesto, CA-based Morgan Emultech, dba VSS Emultech.
Western Emulsions makes asphalt liquid products that help public agencies proactively keep their pavements in good condition. Doing so saves millions of dollars in pavement costs, and reduces noise, dust, waste and traffic disruption when compared to traditional asphalt resurfacing.

With this strategic acquisition, Western Emulsions now will offer its range of emulsion products to public agency customers throughout the Pacific Northwest and northern California for their roadway construction, preservation, and recycling programs.
“The purchase of the White City facility provides Western Emulsions with a complementary base from which to serve many current customers, and the ability to provide customers in the Pacific Northwest with popular branded emulsion products that weren’t previously available in their area,” said Kevin M. Trant, President and CEO. Western Emulsions will retain the plant’s current employees, led by Pat McNairy.
With facilities in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Montana, Georgia, and now Oregon, Western Emulsions Inc. is a leading innovator and supplier of branded and standard asphalt emulsions, and raw asphalt used for pavement preservation, repair and restoration projects. The Company assists public agencies and owners of infrastructure in developing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to maintaining and recycling their asphalt pavements.
