Paccor is set to enter the European coffee capsules market. The packaging services provider will also support EDV’s market growth in Europe and beyond.
EDV president Koke Pursals said: “After 30 years of hard work growing a family business to become the leading European operator of rigid barrier packaging, it is an excellent opportunity for us to be a part of the bigger Paccor family.
“This is an upscale to become a worldwide player in this fast-growing segment.”
