Siegwerk Druckfarben, a supplier of printing inks and coatings for packaging applications, has signed an agreement to acquire Allinova, a speciality chemicals company, to strengthen\u00a0its packaging coating portfolio and reinforce its global growth strategy.<\/p>\n

Siegwerk Circular Economy Coatings (CEC) business head\u00a0Gilles Le Moigne said: \u201cAllinova\u2019s solutions fit perfectly into our product portfolio and accelerate our mission to provide innovative and sustainable coating solutions for the global packaging market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition will enable us to combine Allinova\u2019s technical capabilities and expertise with our global reach and in-depth market knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allinova, based in Hengelo, the Netherlands, has expertise in formulating water-based dispersions, wax emulsions, and adhesives.<\/p>\n

This addition to Siegwerk\u2019s offerings is poised to extend the company\u2019s reach beyond converters to paper mills and film manufacturing operations, delivering advanced, application-specific solutions.<\/p>\n

Allinova founder and owner Gijs Elfrink said: \u201cSiegwerk will integrate our expertise into a significantly larger organisation, thus advancing our products in the global market.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In April 2024, Siegwerk established a new global business unit for functional coatings, aiming to realise sustainable packaging innovations in alignment with the circular economy.<\/p>\n

The CEC unit serves as a hub for circular solutions, complementing the company\u2019s conventional coating offerings.<\/p>\n

The acquisition of Allinova follows Siegwerk\u2019s strategic investments, including the 2022 purchase of La Sorgente, a key ink supplier for flexographic printing in Italy.<\/p>\n

Siegwerk CEO Nicolas Wiedmann said: \u201cBy acquiring Allinova, Siegwerk is doubling down on our global expertise in the area of functional coatings and\u00a0therefore strengthening our position to serve our customers even better as an enabler of circular packaging solutions across all applications and technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Siegwerk and Allinova have agreed to keep the move\u2019s financial details confidential.<\/p>\n

Following the acquisition, Allinova\u2019s Elfrink and co-owner Bob Horsthuis will remain with the company.<\/p>\n
