"During the last two years of the partnership, TAM has grown significantly and now that it is fully integrated into Normet’s own construction chemical business line, it makes us one of the leading specialist suppliers of process solutions to the global underground mining and tunnelling sector ", said Tom Melbye, president of Normet Group and managing director of Normet International. "TAM’s experienced and competent personnel and resources will only further strengthen Normet’s ability to be a reliable, long-term partner for our customers in all different types of projects and conditions including underground, geotechnical engineering and general construction projects."

In April 2010 Normet acquired 40 per cent of TAM to form a global partnership. Going forward, all TAM companies worldwide will eventually operate under the Normet company name. TAM will be retained as the product brand name for construction chemical products.
