Covestro successfully completes acquisition of Pontacol
Covestro has successfully completed the acquisition of Pontacol, effective August 28, 2025.
With this acquisition, Covestro is expanding its films business to include highly specialized flat and blown films. These products strategically complement the existing portfolio and open up new growth opportunities – particularly in key future markets such as medical technology, mobility, and textiles, where global demand for functional films continues to rise.
As part of the transaction, Pontacol’s specialized production sites in Switzerland and Germany will transfer to Covestro. These facilities strengthen Covestro’s global manufacturing network as well as the regional availability of adhesive films. In addition, complementary technologies, new customer relationships, and an expanded product portfolio create further value-creation potential.
