Eastman reported completion of its PremiumShield acquisition in a release listed by its official news index on September 30, 2021. The transaction covered the business and assets of Matrix Films and its British affiliate, PremiumShield Limited.
The acquired operations marketed PremiumShield performance films and an automotive film-pattern range. Eastman placed the business within Performance Films, part of its Advanced Materials segment, and said the transaction’s financial terms were undisclosed.
In the preceding agreement announcement, Eastman identified pattern development, its pattern database and installation training as reasons for the purchase. It also described the acquired dealer relationships as complementary to its presence in North America, Europe and the Middle East.
Those were the buyer’s stated strategic benefits. The completion notice confirms the transaction, but it supplies no measured improvement in installer productivity, dealer pricing or training access. It also does not identify a separate closing day.
