Coatings & Sealants:
Concentration on packaging

The Division ACTEGA Coatings & Sealants develops and produces specialty coatings and sealants for the packaging and graphic arts industry. These products not only give materials such as paper, paper board, plastic and metal their fixed and attractive appearance, but also give them clearly defined chemical and physical properties.

The main customer for the products developed, manufactured and sold by ACTEGA is the packaging industry. ACTEGA is the market leader in overprint varnishes and the technological leader in coatings for flexible packaging, a high-growth sector. ACTEGA products guarantee not only that the packaging will look appealing, but also that the contents remain fresh for longer.

ACTEGA is already the world’s leading supplier of sealants for closures and glass containers; in the case of water-based sealing compounds for cans ACTEGA leads the field in technology. These products are used to make seals between the contact surfaces, such as glass on metal (bottle closures) or metal on metal (can ends). They ensure that the contents and other substances such as CO2 remain inside the packaging, and any contaminants remain outside.

In 2007 ACTEGA employed a workforce of 670 and achieved sales of EUR 222 million. The division consists of eight companies each with a different product portfolio.
