About Us

In 1968, Amsterdam Metallized Products was founded. We started producing metallized yarns. In the seventies and eighties, “gold” and “silver” garments were extremely popular. Trends changed, and demand for yarns was varying, therefore it was decided to apply the gathered knowledge to transfer metalizing paper as well.

Transfer metallization is a more versatile process, and thus a wider range of applications can be achieved.

We understand better than anyone else that materials associated with gold and silver bring brilliance and add value to products.

Over the years Amsterdam Metallized Products has grown into a leading player in the market. Products were marketed under the brand name “Valvac”. Valvac is a recognized quality brand. Nowadays we produce approx. 50 million square meters of metallized and laminated paper, board and film which we supply worldwide.

We acknowledge our responsibility with regard to the environment, to re-use or recycle materials, and develop lighter weight / sustainable products. We value our people, and even more our customers. They identify opportunities, and utilize the potential of our materials; we assist them to enhance the success rate. Via involvement and dedication to innovation, we ensure that Amsterdam Metallized Products is leading when it comes to developments in our field of expertise. Experience the value added that metallizing and lamination gives to paper, board and film. See it, hear it, feel it.

That’s the Sense of Metallizing
