ACTEGA do Brazil, an affiliate of ALTANA, has unveiled a new integrated site in the city of Araçariguama in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, in which around €2 million have been invested. For the packaging specialist, the first step includes merging the administration, production and R&D activities from two old Brazilian sites in Guarulhos and Barueri into the new site in Araçariguama.
"South America is a very high-growth region for the packaging sector. With our investment in the new Brazilian site in the heart of the South American continent, we want to further promote and expand ACTEGA's development for the benefit of our employees and customers," says Thorsten Kröller, ACTEGA division president.
In a further step, ACTEGA's third Brazilian location in Santana de Parnaíba will also be transferred to the new integrated location by 2021 in order to manage business in the South American market from a central location. This shift will take place in a targeted and customer-focused manner. In the medium term, the new location will combine the technology and application know-how of 180 employees from 21 departments, in a total area of 12,000 square meters. A new 500 square meter research laboratory is also integrated, which will allow research, development and production to go hand-in-hand on site.
With the investment in the new site, ACTEGA intends to further establish itself in the South American market. To this end, the new location includes ACTEGA's investment in new high-performance dispersion units for printing ink production and corresponding equipment for the production of water-based and UV coatings.
