Altana has signed an agreement to acquire the business of Aquaprint. The company, which is based in Oyten, Lower Saxony, Germany, primarily produces coatings for in-mold labels and other labels as well as water-borne overprint varnishes for use on paper, cardboard, and foils. By way of an asset deal, Altana mainly acquires Aquaprint's customers and know-how, as well as its machinery, plants, and inventories. Within the Altana Group, Aquaprint will be incorporated into the Actega Coatings & Sealants division, where it will be fully integrated into Actega Terra, located in Lehrte.
