Flint Group Paper & Board confirms success of its AQUACode range of inks in Europe

Following the successful launch of its AQUACode range of products in 2019, Flint Group Packaging Inks continues to develop new solutions for Paper & Board applications to meet and exceed the needs of global packaging markets.

Paul Winstanley, Senior Director of Technology & Innovation for Flint Group Paper & Board Europe, comments: “We recognise that through new brand owner designs, changes to consumer behaviour, and the push to improve the sustainability credentials of the packaging market, continued development is critical to support our customers’ ambitions and product strategies. This is why we are so pleased to confirm the success of our AQUACode range of products for a wide range of water-based packaging applications.

“Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that customers are finding value beyond product quality and are experiencing improvements in their operational efficiencies resulting in significant cost savings. For example, customers have confirmed that switching to our AQUACode product range has resulted in print quality improvements, reduced waste and improvements in running speeds.

“We are happy to have a customer testimonial from DS Smith and grateful for their input. We look forward to sharing other customer stories detailing success and encouraging paper-based packaging converters to discover AQUACode.”

In another example of private equity firms targeting investments in distressed companies in the printing industry, Menomonee Falls, Wis.-based catalog printing specialist Arandell has reached a potential asset purchase agreement with Saothair Capital Partners, which is located outside of Philadelphia in Radnor, Pa. On Aug. 13, Arandell Holdings announced that the commercial printing company, along with all its subsidiaries, voluntarily filed for business reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The investment in Arandell by a private equity concern is similar to the acquisition of Chicago-based LSC Communications last month by another private equity turnaround specialist: Atlas Holdings, of Greenwich, Conn. That transaction, which will take the publicly-held book, catalog, and magazine printing specialist; logistics provider; and office products supplier private, is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020.
