SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Intertape Polymer Group Inc., Common Stock, Without 
Nominal or Par Value) File No. 1-10928

August 11, 1999.
    Intertape Polymer Group Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the security 
specified above (``Security'') from listing and registration on the 
American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The Security has been listed for trading on the Amex and, pursuant 
to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the Commission on 
August 6, 1999, is slated to become listed on the New York Stock 
Exchange (``NYSE''). Trading in the Securities on the NYSE is expected 
to commence on or about August 16, 1999.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the Amex by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the 
Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its Security 
from listing on the Exchange and by setting forth in detail to the Amex 
the reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts in support 
thereof. The Amex has in turn informed the Company that it will not 
interpose any objection to the withdrawal of the Company's Security 
from listing on the Exchange.
    In making the decision to withdraw its Security from listing on the 
Amex and to list it instead on the NYSE, the Company has stated its 
belief that listing on the NYSE will benefit its shareholders by 
providing the Security exposure to a larger trading market.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Security from listing on the Amex and shall have no effect upon the 
pending listing of the Security on the NYSE. Moreover, by reason of 
Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the 
Commission thereunder, the Company would continue to be obligated to 
file reports with the Commission and the NYSE under Section 13 and 
other applicable sections of the Act.
    Any interested person may, on or before September 1, 1999, submit 
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the 
Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on 
the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.
