BIC sells PIMACO, its Brazilian Adhesive Label Business,
to Grupo CCRR

Clichy, France– 15 December 2020 – BIC announced today that it has signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell its Brazilian adhesive label business, PIMACO, to Grupo CCRR for 40 million Brazilian Real (approximately 6.5 million euros1).

This divestiture is consistent with BIC’s portfolio rotation strategy and its focus on fast-growing consumer businesses such as Creative Expression and Digital Writing. Acquiring the leading domestic adhesive label manufacturer and distributor will strengthen CCRR’s position in self-adhesive papers and films in Brazil and Latin America and add to an already robust portfolio.

The transaction must be approved by the Brazilian antitrust authorities, and the closing is expected in the first quarter of 2021.
