RPC Group chief executive Pim Vervaat said: “The acquisition will significantly enhance our growth platform in flexibles whilst adding further innovation capability in an attractive market segment.
“Participation in the ongoing consolidation of the European plastic packaging industry remains a core part of RPC’s strategy, and through our focus on innovation, sustainability and operating in attractive end markets, we remain confident in continuing to grow organically through the cycle ahead of GDP.”
Other than boosting bpi’s market positions in Europe, the deal is expected to provide access to other markets, including Eastern Europe.
