- The combination of the Italian IFG with the Spanish Delta Tecnic creates an independent group leader in Southern Europe in the manufacture of color and additive masterbatches, with more than 100 million euros in revenues and a diversified industrial presence through 6 production plants in 3 countries (Spain, Italy, and Mexico).
- Investindustrial acquired Spain’s Delta Tecnic in July 2024 with the aim of consolidating this production for a wide range of industries.
May 14, 2025: Global Polymer Solutions S.L. (or the “Group”), an independent investment subsidiary of Investindustrial Growth III SCSp (“Investindustrial”), has entered into an agreement to acquire the entirety of Impact Formulators Group S.r.l. (‘IFG’), a leading Italian manufacturer of color and additive masterbatches.
Headquartered near Milan, IFG is the result of the union of Ultrabatch S.r.l., Masterbatch S.r.l. and Eurocolor S.r.l. The company specializes in the production of additive masterbatches designed to improve polymer performance (UV stabilizers, anti-fogging, anti-blocking, slip, anti-static, flame retardants, etc.), and also offers color masterbatches.
With this acquisition, the Group, owner of Spain’s Delta Tecnic S.A.U. (“Delta Tecnic”), a leader in custom color and additive masterbatches for the cable and PVC industry, continues its market consolidation strategy. The objective is to create a specialty chemicals platform with a highly complementary masterbatch offering for diverse markets such as agriculture and the cable sector, with global reach.
IFG brings additive masterbatches to the platform, complementing Delta Tecnic’s mainly color-focused portfolio. This enables the Group to expand its product range and leverage Delta Tecnic’s strong presence in Spain and Mexico to grow in the Spanish and American agricultural markets.
The merger will create a leading independent group in Southern Europe in the masterbatch sector, with more than €100 million in revenues and 6 production plants in Spain, Italy, and Mexico.
