Bostik Completes The Acquisition Of The Industrial Adhesives Of Nitta Gelatin

Bostik completed the acquisition of the industrial adhesives of Nitta Gelatin Inc. by the Bostik-Nitta joint-venture in Japan, on 1st August 2018.

This acquisition, which will be complemented by the construction of a new adhesives plant in Japan, will help Bostik to step up its development particularly in the fast-growing nonwoven markets for hygiene applications and in the packaging, labelling, transportation and electronics industrial markets.

Arkema is thus actively pursuing its strategy to develop its adhesives, which represent one of the major drivers of its long-term growth.
