In a statement, Elanders noted that it aims to create a common platform to offer solutions in supply chain management, including packaging, kitting, fulfilment and warehousing.
Edelmann Group CEO Oliver Bruns said: “The acquisition of a second site in China is tremendously important for the Edelmann Group, as it creates a new hub for beauty care and consumer brands markets that we previously could not serve in this area.
“This new site strongly complements our global network and we are eager to see the new opportunities that are on the horizon.”
Edelmann currently serves the healthcare segment through its existing production facility in Beijing. The transfer of Elanders Beijing operations in print and packaging solutions to Edelmann will increase its network to 21 sites.
