Greiner

Austrian plastic packaging firm Greiner Packaging has acquired a 51% stake in Teknik Plastik and Teknik IML from the Özata Group, in a move to bolster its presence in Turkey’s dairy product packaging market.

The acquisition is in line with the company’s medium-term strategy to grow in Europe and abroad.

With this investment, the company will increase its workforce by adding 270 employees from Teknik Plastik and Teknik IML.

Greiner Holding chairman Axel Kühner said: "We are systematically carrying on the globalisation strategy with this expansion to Turkey, and this represents the first step toward markets in the Middle East and Asia."

"We can continue expanding our competence and now have even more options to respond to the wishes of customers from abroad."

Founded in 1967, Teknik Plastik produces packaging solutions for the dairy sector and deploys a broad spectrum of food packaging technology.

Teknik IML was formed in 2004 and has a specialisation in in-mould labelling (IML) technology.
