ADDEV Materials SAS has acquired Graytone Limited and its subsidiaries.
For more than 10 years, ADDEV Materials has offered its customers innovative and responsible materials solutions. Historically focused on the converting of flexible materials, such as adhesive tapes or technical films, ADDEV Materials has expanded its know-how to liquid custom packaging solutions, adhesives and chemicals, mainly for the aerospace & defense, energy, automotive and medical industries. The company was founded in 2006 and is based in Lyon, France.
Julien Duvanel, CEO, ADDEV Materials SAS, said "We expect excellent synergies from the Graytone project in Europe and Middle East. We believe we can achieve significant cross fertilization as an 'adhesives and chemicals' custom made solutions expert, with our worldwide customers, our world-class manufacturers’ partners and our geographical position in Europe and North America."
