The acquisition, which is subject to certain customary closing conditions, is expected to close later this month, October.

Terphane is currently owned by an international investment firm Vision Capital and operates two manufacturing facilities in Cabo, Pernambuco, Brazil, and Bloomfield, New York.

Polyester films have heat resistance and barrier protection properties which make them suited for the fast-growing flexible packaging market.
