Business
Viskase Companies, Inc. engages in the production and supply of food packaging solutions, specializing in artificial casings for processed meat products. Its main products include cellulose casings, plastic casings, fibrous casings, transfer casings, netting products, and specialty casings with innovative features such as color, flavor, spice transfers, and printed casings. The company serves meat processors globally, providing packaging for sausage, hot dogs, bologna, and other processed meat products. Founded in 1925, Viskase is headquartered in Lombard, Illinois, and operates globally. Recent major corporate developments include Viskase's acquisition of the Walsroder Casings Group, which expanded its product portfolio and market reach in sausage casings. Additionally, Viskase acquired Darmex Casing sp. z o.o., further strengthening its presence in the European market. In 2025, Viskase agreed to merge with Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in an all-stock transaction, combining their operations under the name Viskase Holdings, Inc., which will enhance their capabilities and market position. This merger reflects a strategic expansion beyond traditional casing products and signals broad operational shifts. The company operates primarily in the food packaging and processing segments, targeting meat processors across North America, Europe, and other international markets. Its subsidiaries and acquisitions help sustain its competitive edge in innovation and global supply. Viskase continues to invest in applied technologies and product innovation to meet increased standards for food safety and product differentiation in the meat packaging industry. The company is listed publicly and trades on the OTC markets under the ticker VKSC.
