ALTANADivisionsACTEGA Coatings & Sealants

ACTEGA develops and produces specialty coatings, sealants, printing inks, and adhesives for the rigid and flexible packaging and the graphic arts industry. These products deliver an attractive appearance to materials such as paper, paper board, plastic and metal. They also provide clearly defined chemical and physical properties to the materials' surface.

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 2009 ACTEGA employed a workforce of 770 and achieved sales of EUR 207 million. The division consists of eight companies each with a different product portfolio.
