AR Metallizing, a subsidiary of Nissha Co. Ltd (“Nissha”), listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE Code: 7915), announces that it will change its name to Nissha Metallizing Solutions from today onwards. There are no changes to AR Metallizing’s operations, management, services and/or products. AR Metallizing has manufacturing sites in five countries (Belgium, Brazil, Germany, Italy and the United States), and the name change will see all locations rebranded to Nissha Metallizing Solutions.  

The name change reflects Nissha’s vision to align the names of all its subsidiaries to create a more cohesive and recognizable brand on a global level. Nissha has had an impressive track record of growth through its international acquisition strategy, which has seen them acquire several companies over the past few years. 

All five AR Metallizing plants were acquired between 2015 and 2020 by Nissha. The company is the global market leader in the manufacturing of metallized paper for the food, beverage, and consumer packaged goods industries and is quickly gaining attention as an eco-friendly alternative.

CEO Giorgio Bosso: “When Nissha bought AR Metallizing in 2015, it made sense to keep AR Metallizing’s name as it was a brand that was known and trusted in the industry. Now is the perfect time to rebrand and add the Nissha name to all business entities. By including its name in all subsidiaries, Nissha aims to create a more unified global brand that we proudly adhere to. Nissha is particularly celebrated for innovations and for its vision to enrich people’s lives. The change also represents an opportunity for us to embrace our future as a leading provider of quality metallized packaging solutions for food, beverage, and consumer goods on top of our standard metallized paper products. The name change also aligns with our vision to embrace our place as part of the bigger Nissha family. Nissha is highly supportive of our growing business and continues investing in our people, operations, and product innovations. Our valued customers will enjoy the same support and quality products they have come to depend upon.”

Nissha Co. Ltd, founded in 1929, employs more than 5,000 employees within 66 subsidiaries globally. The firm produces industrial materials, devices, and medical technologies.

Nissha Metallizing Solutions’ name change is effective from today onwards. In the coming days the company will be updating the company legal names, website, marketing collateral and e-mail addresses.
