Covestro has finalized the acquisition of Pontacol, a Swiss-based specialist in multilayer adhesive films, effective August 28, 2025. The company had already announced the agreement in June 2025.

The move expands Covestro s films business to include highly specialized flat and blown films, strategically complementing its existing portfolio. These advanced films are expected to unlock growth opportunities in medical technology, mobility, and textiles, all sectors experiencing rising global demand for functional materials.

As part of the deal, two production sites in Switzerland and Germany will transfer to Covestro, bolstering its global manufacturing network and improving regional supply capabilities. Alongside complementary technologies, new customer relationships, and an expanded product range, the acquisition positions Covestro for long-term value creation.

Both parties agreed not to disclose the purchase price. The acquisition will be financed with cash, in line with Covestro s objective of maintaining a solid investment-grade rating.

Pontacol, headquartered in Schmitten, Switzerland, with a subsidiary in Buxtehude, Germany, brings over 50 years of expertise in thermoplastic adhesive films, particularly in ultra-thin solutions for industrial applications.

Covestro, a global leader in high-quality polymer materials, continues to leverage innovative products and processes to advance sustainability and improve quality of life worldwide.
