Background on the Acquisition LINTEC and its consolidated subsidiaries (hereinafter “the Group”) adopted a “return to a growth path through active management and continuous innovation” as their basic policy in LINTEC INNOVATION PLAN 2016 (LIP-2016), a three-year medium-term business plan launched in April 2014. Based on that policy, the Group has worked on key initiatives, such as “further promotion of global development” for expanding operations in countries and regions expected to achieve economic development and “promotion of strategic M&A” for rapidly executing business strategies. MACtac will maintain its manufacturing bases in the United States and Mexico and continue to develop adhesive papers and films for printing, mainly in North America. It has built a solid position in the U.S. market by developing products using its unique excellent adhesion formula and high-speed coating technology. MACtac also deals with graphic sheets and various kinds of industrial and medical tapes. LINTEC is convinced that full-scale entry into the North American market for adhesive papers and films for printing and proactive development of its original products using its own technological development capabilities through MACtac will contribute significantly to the acceleration of the global development of Printing and Variable Information Products Operations, the core business of the Group. LINTEC also plans to link MACtac’s acquisition to business enhancement and expansion not only in the North American market, but also Japan and other regions, by utilizing MACtac’s unique technical capabilities and brand equity and maximizing synergy with LINTEC’s technologies. Overview of MACtac Americas, LLC
We will provide customer companies in North America with high-quality products by maximizing synergy effects. Entering the North American market in earnest through the acquisition of a leading company In recent years, the Group has been strengthening its local manufacturing and sales bases mainly in Asia where the market continues to grow rapidly, developing sales channels and expanding the brand recognition in Europe by making its first full presentation in LABELEXPO EUROPE 2015. In November 2016, the Group made LINTEC Graphic Films Ltd. in the United Kingdom, which was a partner company in sales, a subsidiary to further strengthen the network in Europe, including LINTEC Europe B.V., a sales subsidiary in the Netherlands. Vigorously pushing forward with efforts to improve customer satisfaction by integrating with MACtac The primary reason for choosing MACtac is that it has a long-standing delivery record, strong brand power as well as excellent relations and an impressive sales network with more than 1,000 quality customer companies in the North American market. It is also a manufacturer that has already established a firm footing as a peer of LINTEC. While LINTEC has strength in film-based products, the main products of MACtac are paper-based. In addition, MACtac has unique technology for formulating hot-melt adhesives, which LINTEC does not have, as well as high-speed coating facilities. Given these features, we believe that future synergies are very promising. ABOUT LINTEC LINTEC is a leading company in the field of adhesive materials. The product lineup covers many diversified fields including not only adhesive papers and films for seals and labels, but also shatter-proof window films, adhesive sheets for outdoor signs, interior finishing mounting sheets, automobile-use adhesive products, semiconductor-related tape, and LCD-related adhesive products. *Photographic data used in this news release can be downloaded from View source version on businesswire.com: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20161208005479/en/ Contacts Inquiries concerning this news release: |
