Per Fact.MR, the global packaging adhesives market is set to grow by over $12 billion in the next decade, and this makes sense given how universal adhesives are among different packaging types. Whether it\u2019s flexible or rigid, adhesives and sealants find their way onto any package, making them high on the list of considerations for manufacturers and CPG brands.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is this clear from a projected growth perspective, but also from an acquisitions one. Just recently, the industry has seen two key acquisitions of adhesives providers.<\/p>\n<p>First, Anderson &amp; Vreeland, Inc. acquired Adheso-Graphics, a manufacturer of pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes designed for various applications including corrugated, wide web, narrow web, offset and letterpress printing. The acquisition allowed Anderson &amp; Vreeland to offer new technologies and serve multiple markets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are excited to expand our core portfolio with the addition of Adheso-Graphics to the Anderson &amp; Vreeland, Family of Flexo Brands,\u201d said Darin Lyon, President and CEO of Anderson &amp; Vreeland, Inc. \u201cOur commitment to providing world-class products to the markets we serve is enhanced by this strategic acquisition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Arkema announced the acquisition of Dow\u2019s flexible packaging laminating adhesives business, an entity that generates close to $250 million in annual sales. The move allowed Arkema to expand their flexible packaging solutions and enter the adhesives market as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are very happy to announce this great acquisition which is perfectly in line with Arkema\u2019s strategy to offer its customers innovative products with high technological content and continue to grow in the attractive adhesives segment,\u201d said Thierry Le H\u00e9naff, Arkema\u2019s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.<\/p>\n<p>With adhesives at the top of mind for many in the packaging industry, individual innovations in this space have come to the forefront as well.
