The European project to build a masterbatch powerhouse for the plastics industry — originally launched in Italy by Koinos Capital and taken over this year by Investindustrial through Global Polymer Solutions (Delta Tecnic) — is preparing to expand into France with the planned acquisition of Polytechs Financière.

Founded in 1980 and headquartered in Cany-Barville, Normandy, Polytechs develops and produces masterbatches and specialty compounds, both under its own brand and on behalf of third parties. Its formulations serve several strategic industries, including electrical, energy and food processing.

The deal has not yet been finalized and remains subject to regulatory approvals and standard closing conditions, including completion of the mandatory consultation process with the company’s works council in France. Once completed, the acquisition will allow Delta Tecnic to strengthen its position in the French market while giving Polytechs access to the group’s commercial network in Spain, Italy and Mexico.

Alongside Delta Tecnic — specialized in masterbatches for cables and PVC and already active in Spain and Mexico — Global Polymer Solutions includes three Italian companies operating in the same sector: Ultrabatch, focused on functional concentrates for the agriculture market; Masterbatch, a producer of flame-retardant additive concentrates for building and electrical cable applications; and Eurocolor, which manufactures and distributes masterbatches for coloring and enhancing polyolefins, styrenics and engineering polymers.

Following this latest acquisition, Delta Tecnic’s total turnover is expected to reach approximately €140 million, with eight production facilities across Spain, Italy, France and Mexico.
