SICPA HOLDING SA TO FOCUS ON SECURITY INKS AND SYSTEMS FOLLOWING DIVESTMENT OF PACKAGING INKS DIVISION

SICPA Holding SA, with its world Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, has announced plans to divest its Packaging Inks Division to the Siegwerk Group based near Cologne, Germany with completion expected within six to eight weeks pending regulatory approvals. The combination of these two respected suppliers of packaging inks is hoped to create a strong platform for growth and continued development of high quality products and services to customers. With this strategic repositioning, SICPA, already a leader in inks for banknotes and documents of value, will focus on its security inks and systems businesses for governments and industry.
