“It does not only enable us to expand our multi-material packaging portfolio but we are also gaining two high-performance sites in Germany. These will be an almost perfect complement to our existing sites, both technically and geographically.”

The transaction is currently subject to the approval by the Federal Cartel Office and is expected to close in the next few weeks.

Thimm Group will manage the two ISL facilities under its subsidiary Thimm Packaging Systems.

Thimm Packaging Systems managing director Jürgen Düvel said: “With the new sites we are further expanding our presence and we will be located even closer to our customers.

“Across Germany, we will then be represented by seven sites with the proximity of the two sites of Germersheim and Viernheim to each other offering additional process and logistics benefits.”
