Packaging Solutions

With the acquisition of UK based Hi-Tech Products Ltd, Siegwerk is further expanding its waterbased ink business and thereby enhancing its product and service portfolio for packaging printers.

Hi-Tech is a specialist supplier of waterbased inks and coatings for flexo, mainly for printing on corrugated board packaging.

‘Hi-Tech Products Ltd is an established and well known waterbased ink supplier in the UK. The company’s ink solutions and coatings perfectly complement our waterbased ink portfolio,’ said Dirk Weissenfeldt, vice president Paper and Board and Liquid Food Packaging at Siegwerk. ‘This merger enables us to expand our local footprint in the UK and therefore to continue raising our profile as a supplier of waterbased printing inks in Europe.’
