Austria-based flexible packaging firm Constantia Flexibles has entered binding agreements to purchase a majority stake in Russian packaging firm TT-print.
Established in 1999, TT-print operates a production site in Voskresensk to develop packaging solutions such as printed aluminium blister foil and coldform for the pharma industry. The company currently employs approximately 100 employees.
Constantia Flexibles CEO Alexander Baumgartner said: “With this acquisition, we will be taking a leading position in the Russian pharma packaging industry.
“It requires local presence to serve the rapidly growing Russian packaging market.”
The Austrian packaging major currently operates the Constantia Kuban facility in Timashevsk and the new Voskresensk plant from TT-print marks the second plant for the company in Russia.
Constantia Flexibles also expects that the transaction will strengthen its presence in the market and proximity to customers in the pharma industry in Russia and neighbouring countries.
