New York – August 2, 2023 – AEA Investors’ (“AEA” or the “Firm”) Middle Market Private Equity team announced today that its fund has completed the sale of Spectrum Plastics Group (“Spectrum” or the “Company”) to DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

Spectrum’s strategic focus will complement DuPont’s existing offerings for biopharma and pharma processing, medical devices, and packaging.

These initiatives enabled Spectrum to drive significant organic growth and increased profitability despite operating in a challenging macroeconomic environment, including through the COVID-19 pandemic.
