Lecta completes recapitalization, strengthens self-adhesives business

Lecta Group has completed a comprehensive recapitalization, advancing its transformation strategy and reinforcing its position across specialty papers and self-adhesive materials.

As part of the transaction, the company has reorganized into three independently managed and financed business units—Specialties, Fine Paper and Distribution, and Self-Adhesives—allowing each segment to pursue focused strategies aligned with its market. For the label and packaging sector, the Self-Adhesives unit is expected to benefit from improved financial flexibility and a more targeted operating structure.

According to Lecta, the recapitalization significantly reduces debt and interest obligations while strengthening liquidity and cash flow across the business. The new structure is designed to support greater agility and closer alignment with customer and supplier needs.

“This milestone ensures each business unit is financially solid and fully funded,” says chairman Javier Abad Marturet.

CEO Gilles Van Nieuwenhuyzen added that the changes will enable Lecta to compete more effectively and accelerate decision-making across its markets.
