After the transaction, Treofan will maintain close ties with the Belgian company through a “tolling” agreement for the production of up to 20,000 tons of BOPP film per annum and a distribution agreement for certain Treofan products.

Together with a number of other measures, this agreement creates a significant degree of stability for the Belgian operation and its employees, while giving the new owners the opportunity to develop new production and distribution strategies.

“We are delighted to have agreed this deal and look forward to a productive partnership with Treofan in the years to come,” said Gabriel Catania of Crystal Amaranth.
