With this acquisition, UPM continues in its strategic path, adding to the organic growth in the attractive specialty packaging material value chain and strengthens the company's transformation and long-term value creation in one of its three spearheads of growth.

AMC AG, founded in 1996 with roots going back to 1959 is a private company with long-term private owners. The company has two production sites Kaltenkirchen and Hagenow in Northern Germany. AMC's business includes coating of pressure sensitive filmic labelstock and Viscom/Graphics materials under the Intercoat brand, and removable self-adhesive stationary products under the brand names Global Notes and Print Inform. The company employs more than 300 people and the latest financial year sales of AMC AG was EUR 110 million. UPM Raflatac expects to accelerate AMC's growth and realize significant synergies.

"The acquisition will strengthen our position in Central Europe and expand our offering to new self-adhesive product lines. AMC's capabilities and business portfolio are an excellent fit for us. The combination with UPM Raflatac's efficient supply chain and sales and distribution network will enable further growth. We look forward to offering a stronger product portfolio to our current and new customers," says Antti Jääskeläinen, Executive Vice President, UPM Raflatac.

"We are pleased to see AMC continuing to grow within UPM Raflatac family.
