The portfolio includes technologies for additive manufacturing of sustainable decoration solutions as well as new technology for resealable packaging. The acquired technologies will be integrated into Altana’s Actega North America division. 

“We are very pleased to have found a new owner in Altana, who is in a position to integrate our innovative pipeline into its core business and to bring it to market readiness,” says Benjamin Lux, president of NuLabel Technologies. “We know that our innovation team and our technology solutions are in the best of hands with Actega, a company that has long-standing experience as a leader of new and sustainable technologies for the packaging industry.”
