ACTEGA has announced a contract manufacturing arrangement with ELANTAS Beck India Limited (EBIL) to produce its WESSCO UV-curing coatings at this its site. This will strengthening its capabilities to meet the needs of the Indian flexible packaging market.

“In 2020, ACTEGA acquired the Swiss-based company Schmid Rhyner (now ACTEGA Schmid Rhyner), which significantly expanded our range of UV coating products,” said Thomas Sawitowski, SVP Flexible Packaging at ACTEGA. “From discussions with our customers, we understand that there is a strong demand for this range of coatings to be produced locally in India. With this facility, we have acted on this valuable market feedback and made a significant step towards being able to offer ‘made in India; UV coatings.”
