TO ACQUIRE ASSETS OF NL GREASE, LLC
KILGORE, TX - May 23, 2013 (GlobeNewswire) - Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: MMLP) (“MMLP” or the “Partnership”) announced today that its subsidiary, Martin Operating Partnership L.P., has entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets and inventory of Kansas City, Missouri based NL Grease, LLC, a grease manufacturer that specializes in private-label packaging of commercial and industrial greases. The acquisition is expected to close before the end of July 2013. The Partnership expects incremental cash flow of approximately $2.5 million annually from the newly acquired assets.
