Ahlstrom, a global leader in fiber-based specialty materials, today announces the execution of a binding agreement to acquire Stevens Point, a high-end solutions provider in food, consumer packaging and e-commerce applications, from Pixelle Specialty Solutions.
In parallel, Ahlstrom will create a dedicated Performance Materials cluster to sharpen its strategic focus and optimize growth opportunities. These two transformational steps are part of Ahlstrom’s ongoing commitments to innovation and customer satisfaction.
The acquisition of this best-in-class business includes premium-quality products, long-standing customer relationships, and the experience and expertise of its 260 people, representing a significant milestone in Ahlstrom’s growth transformation. Based in Wisconsin, USA, the business adds unique capabilities that will support customers’ transition to sustainable packaging and strengthen Ahlstrom’s leadership and footprint in its Food & Consumer Packaging segment. This step aligns with the company’s long-term growth objectives and will deliver more value to its customers and stakeholders.
The acquisition is highly complementary to Ahlstrom’s existing product portfolio. Stevens Point’s superior technical expertise include state-of-the-art finishing and coating capabilities that will significantly enhance the company’s ability to meet growing customers’ needs.
