Fedrigoni acquires the German company, POLI-TAPE

The Fedrigoni Group expands its portfolio of products, assets and technological capabilities in business graphics. The transaction takes the number of M&As completed in the last four years to 16, of which 4 in 2024.

POLI-TAPE, the leading company specialised in textile graphics, application tape and large format digital printing film, has entered the Fedrigoni group, the reference global operator in the production of special paper for luxury packaging, labels, self-adhesive materials and RFID solutions.

Founded in 1993 with headquarters in Remagen, POLI-TAPE operates with a team of 370 people distributed between 4 production sites in Germany and Italy and the distribution centre in the United States, serving over 90 countries.
POLI-TAPE’s textile graphics area includes a variety of heat transfer vinyls for decorating fabrics and other substrates. In the shop sign and large-format digital printing production segment, the company offers a wide range of films in PVC used for indoor and outdoor advertising applications and for interior decoration; the portfolio is further enriched by application tapes, in which POLI-TAPE is a reference market operator, specialised in self-adhesive tapes (such as magnetic self-adhesive tapes and with special effects).

“The acquisition of POLI-TAPE allows us to expand and diversify our portfolio of self-adhesive materials for visual communication, to increase our presence in attractive segments like textiles and special graphics, and to expand production capabilities” – Marco Nespolo, CEO of Gruppo Fedrigoni comments – “The distinctive know-how regarding polyurethane films used, for example, in the automotive wrapping and paint protection segments, is highly synergic with the acquisition of Unifol in Turkey”.
