How Duraco Specialty Materials came together

Duraco Specialty Materials coats, laminates, and converts specialty tapes, release liners, PET films, and label stock. It runs as one company with three business units and six brands. It is owned by OpenGate Capital. The parts fit together: adhesive coating and formulation at 3 Sigma and Infinity Tapes, film coating at Filmquest and Rayven, metalizing at Filmquest, label and card films at Strata-Tac, and tape converting at Duraco.
