Fibre-based speciality materials provider Ahlstrom has concluded the acquisition of the Stevens Point facility in Wisconsin, US.<\/p>\n

The Stevens Point facility offers advanced solutions for food and consumer packaging, as well as e-commerce applications.<\/p>\n

Last month, Ahlstrom signed a binding agreement<\/a> with Pixelle Specialty Solutions to acquire the plant.<\/p>\n

The new site contributes finishing and coating technologies that complement Ahlstrom\u2019s existing capabilities.<\/p>\n

The acquisition also includes a portfolio of premium-quality products and established customer relationships, supported by the expertise of the facility\u2019s 260 employees.<\/p>\n

Ahlstrom Food and Consumer Packaging executive vice-president and CIO Konraad Dullaert said: \u201cStevens Point\u2019s superior technical expertise and top-class team are an exciting addition to Ahlstrom\u2019s technology portfolio and global manufacturing network.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis acquisition expands our market coverage and positions us to respond to the evolving needs of our customers in North America and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ahlstrom aims to leverage these assets to enhance value for its customers and stakeholders, reinforcing its position as a leading supplier in the sector.<\/p>\n

Ahlstrom CEO and president <\/strong>Helen Mets said: \u201cWith Stevens Point we are strengthening the breadth and quality of our sustainable offerings to customers in our Food and Consumer Packaging division.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith this move we are investing in our future and together will lead the way in sustainable packaging solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recently, Ahlstrom launched a new parchmentiser<\/a>, PMZ5, at its Saint-S\u00e9verin plant in France, investing \u20ac15m ($16.8m) to enhance sustainable innovation and customer collaboration in the food packaging sector.<\/p>\n
