The agreement was originally announced on 31 October 2013. On 14 April, the European Commission formally approved the acquisition.
Crown chairman and CEO John Conway said that the addition of a well-performing business will result in compelling benefits to both customers and shareholders.
"We are excited about the acquisition of Mivisa Envases, as it will significantly build upon Crown’s existing position in the strategically important European food can segment by substantially increasing our presence in Spain, one of Europe’s leading agricultural economies," Conway added.
Mivisa Envases is one of the largest food can producers in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco, and operates ten manufacturing facilities, including six in Spain and one in Morocco, serving the vegetable, fruit, fish and meat segments. The company reported sales of €555m and an EBITDA of €133m for the audited fiscal year ending 30 June 2013.
