Polyart acquires Glatfelter Caerphilly

Polyart Group has acquired Glatfelter Caerphilly from Magnera Corporation, with the Caerphilly, Wales-based facility renaming as Polyart Metallised UK from June 15, 2026, strengthening Polyart's position in the premium label market.

Glatfelter Caerphilly employs 44 people and manufactures metalized facestock papers for pressure-sensitive label applications, holding strong positions in facestock for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage and food packaging labels, wet-glue labels for beer bottles, and home and personal care markets. It is known for its lacquering and metalizing technology.

The acquisition gives Polyart access to advanced lacquering and metalizing capabilities and adds wet-glue label production to its portfolio, alongside increased production capacity from the Caerphilly facility.

'We are thrilled to welcome our Glatfelter Caerphilly colleagues to the group,' said Stéphane Daveau, CEO of Polyart Group. 'This acquisition strengthens our commitment to offering comprehensive, high-end labeling solutions while fostering sustainable growth for our customers and stakeholders.'

Polyart Group, formed in 2020 through the merger of Arjobex, MDV, Tech Folien and Reisewitz, employs 280 people across six production sites in France, Germany, the UK and the US, with sales of 83m EUR. It is owned by Prudentia Capital.
