Corporate structure
Within the ALTANA group, business activities are arranged in divisions with responsibility for their business results: BYK, ECKART, ELANTAS and ACTEGA.
The companies in the ALTANA Group are represented on four continents. This means that in all regions our products and services are very close to our customers. In addition, we believe that being in close proximity to customers means more than just being available – the fact that key positions are staffed by local employees means that we speak the language of our customers and are thus in a better position to react better and more quickly to their individual wishes. Furthermore, our regional knowledge of the markets and their conditions enables us to react flexibly to changes. Thus, we can grow together with our customers locally and are equipped to face future challenges.
BYK - A brilliant performance all around
The division’s requirements for its coatings and plastics: special scratch resistance and perfect gloss. Our additives improve your products sustainably and assure the quality of color, gloss, and physical characteristics thanks to our special devices.
ECKART - Brilliant in every application
Take the lead with individual metallic and pearlescent pigments for coatings, paints, plastics, aerated concrete, and cosmetics. Intensive research work and sound advising offer you advanced solutions at an early stage.
ELANTAS - A lasting effect
Save energy and material with our innovative insulating materials for your electric motors, household appliances, wind turbines, and many other technical areas. Furthermore, globally active customers put great trust in our wire enamels, resins, and casting materials.
ACTEGA - Specifically for attractive qualities
Flexible or rigid, visually appealing or sustainable: Your packaging benefits from coatings, sealants, printing inks, and adhesives. Materials such as metal, paper, or plastic become constant chemically and physically and so your filling material remains fresh longer.
