WESEL, Germany – ACTEGA is significantly expanding its production capacities for water-based and UV overprint varnishes. As a result, the global production output is increasing to more than 150,000 tons per year. Around €52 million have been invested in a new integrated site in Brazil, where a total of 180 employees will eventually be located to support the business.
“Production and warehousing will occupy most of the 12,000 square meter facility with new high-efficiency equipment installed to produce overprint varnishes,” said Andrei Sotkeviciene, Managing Director at ACTEGA in Brazil. “Research and development activities will take place in an ultra-modern, 500-square-meter research laboratory set up for this purpose.”
