AMC AG’s business includes coating of pressure sensitive filmic labelstock and visual communication/graphics materials under the Intercoat brand, and removable self-adhesive stationery products under the brand names Global Notes and Print Inform. UPM Raflatac has signed an agreement to acquire AMC.
This acquisition accelerates growth and expands the product offering of UPM Raflatac. The transaction is expected to be closed latest in Q3, 2022. With this acquisition, UPM continues in its strategic path, adding to the organic growth in the attractive specialty packaging material value chain, and strengthens the company’s transformation and long-term value creation in one of its three spearheads of growth.
AMC AG, founded in 1996 with roots going back to 1959 is a private company with long-term private owners. The company has two production sites Kaltenkirchen and Hagenow in Northern Germany. UPM Raflatac expects to accelerate AMC’s growth and realise significant synergies.

The combination with UPM Raflatac’s efficient supply chain and sales and distribution network will enable further growth. We look forward to offering a stronger product portfolio to our current and new customers,’ said Antti Jääskeläinen, Executive Vice President, UPM Raflatac.
