Elopak buys SIG Combibloc´s fresh packaging
Elopak (N-3431 Spikkestad; www.elopak.com), which regards itself as European market leader for chilled dairy packaging solutions and premium juices, has acquired the Newcastle, UK-based gable top activities of SIG Combibloc GmbH (D- 52441 Linnich; www.combibloc.com). The Norwegian packaging giant said the acquisition will enable it to further consolidate its position in the gable top market, where it already has a share of 55%. The deal also will give Elopak access to “significant contractual agreements” with key customers in Europe, especially in The Netherlands, Austria and the UK.
