Lecta completes debt recapitalization

Lecta Group has completed a recapitalization transaction first announced on January 2, 2026, restructuring the group into three independently managed and financed business units covering specialties, fine paper and distribution, and self-adhesives.

The transaction reduces outstanding debt balances and cash interest payments across the group, improves cash flow generation and enhances liquidity, with each business unit now operating with no recourse to the others. The self-adhesives unit is among the three divisions that will operate independently following the reorganization.

The group's independent business units will be rebranded, with further details to be provided in due course.

'After this milestone, each business unit is financially solid and has a fully funded business plan,' said Javier Abad Marturet, chairman of Lecta.

'The business unit organization will allow us to be more agile in our decision making, to compete more effectively and to be closer to our customers and our suppliers,' noted Gilles Van Nieuwenhuyzen, CEO of Lecta.
