ACTEGA, Wesel, Germany, manufacturer of specialty coatings, inks, adhesives, sealants and compounds for the print and packaging industry, announced its plans to open a new 238,000 sq. ft. facility in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. The project is being supported by the state of North Carolina, providing funding to establish a new, state-of-the-art production facility. With the goal of bringing together four existing premises located in North Carolina and Indiana, the new facility is expected to create additional jobs once operational and new opportunities for growth across the ACTEGA business lines.
ACTEGA’s new facility will occupy a larger 238,000 square feet site – twice the space of ACTEGA’s four locations in North America combined. Once complete all ink technology development will be under one roof, creating a new level of synergy for R&D, technical service and quality control. This move demonstrates ACTEGA’s commitment to the market, investing in cutting-edge technology and providing exceptional customer service. Customers will also benefit from a dedicated Experience Centre, designed for both flexographic printing presses and rod coaters.
The new building will be the perfect platform for ACTEGA to expand its Flexible Packaging, Metal Packaging and Paper and Board business line production and operations. The state-of-the-art pigment dispersions process ensures that the company stays ahead of the game in producing high-quality products. The premises also will include local production of metal decorating inks, allowing ACTEGA to enter the North American metal packaging market with ease.
