Tipa Compostable Packaging has acquired Sealpap, a producer of recyclable coated-paper solutions, in a move that strengthens its position in Europe’s fast-evolving sustainable flexible-packaging sector. The transaction was completed together with Bio4Pack, Tipa’s European subsidiary.
The companies say the deal brings together two complementary specialisations: Tipa’s certified compostable films and Sealpap’s paper-based formats designed for recycling. The combined portfolio is positioned to help brand owners navigate shifting EU packaging legislation, which is intensifying demand for clear end-of-life pathways and lower-impact materials.
Daphna Nissenbaum, Tipa’s co-founder and CEO, said: “Our vision has always been to lead the industry toward truly circular packaging.” She added that integrating Sealpap’s technology broadens the company’s ability to offer solutions tailored to different regulatory and performance requirements across food and consumer-goods markets.
Sealpap owner Robert van der Laan described the deal in published comments as a step that will enable the company to scale its paper-based technologies and better address new customer needs. His remarks emphasised that regulatory clarity in Europe is increasing demand for recyclable formats with reliable barrier performance.
Industry reports indicate that the acquisition expands Tipa’s coated-paper capabilities and reinforces its presence in both European and North American markets. Tipa, which supplies compostable packaging to a range of global brands, is positioning the deal as part of a wider strategy to offer parallel recyclable and compostable product streams at scale.
