MEDINA, Ohio -- RPM International Inc. has acquired Kirker Enterprises, Inc., a manufacturer of nail care enamels, coatings components and similar personal care products.

RPM, the Medina manufacturer of Rust-Oleum and other specialty coatings and sealants, has acquired seven companies in just over a year before buying Kirker Enterprises.

Its latest purchase was Viapol Ltda., a major Brazilian manufacturer of building materials and construction products, with annual sales of about $85 million.

Kirker Enterprises, based in Paterson, N.J., has more than $100 million in annual sales. Its website says the company has developed and manufactured nail products for more than 50 years and has factories in both the United States and Europe.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

"Kirker will operate as a stand-alone company within our RPM2 business group and continue to provide its customers the same level of outstanding service and innovation to which they are accustomed," RPM Chairman and Chief Executive Frank C. Sullivan said in a statement announcing the purchase.

"We're proud to have Kirker's management team join RPM."
