OptiGroup has closed an acquisition of Dutch packaging distributor Packagegroup Moonen following approval by the Dutch Competition Authority.

OptiGroup and Moonen signed the acquisition agreement last month.

Founded in the 1950s, Moonen designs, develops and distributes food and non-food packaging, as well as hygiene products, disposables and packaging materials to the retail, food, hospitality and catering industries. It aims to deliver cost-effective and environmentally friendly packaging solutions.

At the time of signing the deal, OptiGroup president and CEO Christoph Sander said: “We have followed Moonen Packaging for a long time as a European leader in sustainable packaging, with a strong market position in the Benelux and a long history of developing innovative products and services.”
