Covestro Plans Specialty Films Acquisition

Covestro has signed an agreement to acquire Pontacol, a Swiss manufacturer of multilayer adhesive films. The acquisition supports Covestro’s strategic focus on sustainable growth and expands its specialty films portfolio across key end-use sectors.
Pontacol’s product line includes specialized flat and blown films used in applications such as medical technology, mobility and textiles. Covestro will also acquire two production sites in Switzerland and Germany, enhancing its manufacturing network and improving regional availability of adhesive films in Europe.
“This acquisition is strategically sound and financially attractive,” said Christian Baier, chief financial officer of Covestro. “We are gaining a profitable company with growth potential and relevant synergy effects. This allows us to expand our capacities, combine our innovative strength and offer our customers more powerful solutions.”
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.
