Creafund and private shareholders have sold Aalterpaint to Quva

Aalterpaint

Founded in 1962, Aalterpaint is a leading European provider of customized functional coating solutions for specialized industrial applications in the metal packaging, protective and general industrial segments.

The Deal

Under the ownership of Creafund alongside private shareholders, Aalterpaint established a leading position across three chosen segments through increased focus, geographical roll-out and bolstering of the management team. With Quva as a new shareholder, Aalterpaint will have the support required to further strengthen its leading market positions. Aalterpaint will leverage Quva’s extensive experience in building leading industrial companies and long-term focus to provide its clients with high quality, customized industrial coating solutions.
