Evergreen Asia will be fully consolidated from this month.

Pactiv Evergreen CEO Michael King said: “With most of our assets being in North America, we provide an extensive offering of North American-manufactured products to our customers.

“This transaction positions Pactiv Evergreen to further focus on our growth in North America, where we are established as a leading manufacturer of fresh food and beverage packaging, servicing many of the world’s most beloved brands.”

SIG said that Evergreen Asia will provide it with new growth opportunities in the Asian market driven by rising demand, especially for fresh milk in China.

The company also expects to improve its customer relationships with national dairies and gain access to new customers on both regional and local levels.

SIG Asia Pacific North president and general manager Lidong Fan said: “Evergreen Asia is an exciting addition to our business.

“With chilled carton packaging, we can offer our customers an even more comprehensive range of products.

“Together, we will also continue to innovate and provide safe and sustainable packaging that consumers expect today and in the future.”
