Bong takes over Tyvek® plant in Luxemburg

Bong has acquired Tycon in Luxemburg from Curtis 1000 Europe in liquidation. Tycon has around 20 employees and is specialized in converting of Tyvek® material to different kinds of envelopes and packaging solutions. The deal is expected to contribute positively to Bong’s result from the first quarter 2010.

Tyvek® is a spunbonded polyethylene material developed and manufactured by DuPont. It is light, thin and flexible but also extremely tough and durable. Tyvek® is, for example, tear and water resistant and therefore highly suitable for protective envelopes and postal packaging solutions. Furthermore, it is readily recycled.

As previously announced in a separate press release, Bong has an exclusive agreement with DuPont for the converting and distribution of Tyvek® envelopes and packaging solutions in Europe.

“This is a natural step in our work to relaunch Tyvek®” says Bong’s President & CEO Anders Davidsson. “Tycon is strategically located close to DuPont’s production site in Luxemburg and the staff has a unique competence to handle the special Tyvek® material. Having Tycon in the Bong group helps us ensure a continued high quality level and excellent service to all Tyvek® customers.”
Following the takeover, the converting of Tyvek® will be concentrated to Tycon and to Bong’s production unit in Wuppertal, Germany.
