Nampak: Expansion of the South African packaging group
The company that claims to be the world's fourth largest packaging producer, South Africa's Nampak (www.nampak.co.za; Sandton), has also joined the ranks of the top 20 European plastics packaging producers following its acquisition of British blow moulder Plysu in 1999 and the latter's merger with Blow Mocan to form Nampak Europe (www.eu.nampak.com; Milton Keynes). This market position will be enhanced still further by the merger currently under way with Malbak (www.malbak.co.za; Sandton) formerly its biggest domestic competitor.
