Flint Group acquired the metal decorating inks business as part of the acquisition of Siegwerk’s packaging inks business in Australia and New Zealand in May. Lindgens, which specialises in inks and coatings for metal decoration, is a major player in this market.

“We are combining resources to bring more value to our customers,” said Charles Knott, CEO of Flint Group. “Flint Group brings invaluable industry experience and a strong local presence, while Lindgens bring their expertise for this specialty application. An excellent partnership.”

“Lindgens is delighted to be joining forces with Flint Group in Australia and New Zealand to build on the work we have been doing in metal decorating in these markets over the past years,” said Andrew Garner, CEO of Lindgens Group. “This partnership will allow Lindgens to bring considerably more focus and resource to ANZ and we look forward to the opportunity to work together with the many metal decorating customers in this region.”

The joint venture will be located in Hallam, Victoria.
