Established in 1986, Creative Polypack registered sales of around €75m in the business year ending 31 March.
The company currently employs 850 workers at eight production sites in the Indian states of Baddi, Kanpur, Kolkata, Assam and Puducherry.
Constantia Flexibles CEO Alexander Baumgartner said last month: “Through this acquisition, we will become the third largest flexible packaging company in India—the fastest growing packaging market globally with double-digit growth rates driven by the megatrend urbanisation and the expansion of the retail sector.
Creative Polypack serves the food and home & personal care (HPC) industries with film-based flexible packaging.
