Acquisition of WEILBURGER Graphics GmbH by Stahl Group

WEILBURGER Graphics, an internationally renowned manufacturer of varnishes, inks and adhesives for the graphic arts industry, is about to be taken over by the Stahl Group, provided the usual approvals are granted. This will strengthen the Stahl Group’s coatings business for flexible materials such as paper and board. In addition, the merger will enable global expansion in the graphic arts industry, from which our customers will benefit.

Günter Korbacher, Managing Director of WEILBURGER Graphics: “We are excited to join the Stahl Group to combine our expertise and expand our global footprint in packaging varnishes. Stahl is a well-known and respected brand and with our complementary product portfolios, geographic coverage and our QIS approach, covering the success factors of Quality, Innovation and Sustainability, we will create a well-rounded and truly global offering for the market.”

Maarten Heijbroek, CEO of Stahl: “I am very excited to welcome WEILBURGER Graphics to the Stahl Group. This is another important step on our strategic journey. The acquisition further strengthens our packaging coatings business, building on the acquisition of ICP Industrial Solutions Group (ISG) in March 2023. Importantly, it will enhance our position in the European packaging coatings market with its innovative portfolio in growth markets like food and beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, unique expertise, state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and a distinct focus on sustainability. I have gotten to know the WEILBURGER Graphics team as one of the best in the industry.”
