United Caps intends to integrate the purchased production assets into its plant in Hoboken, Belgium.

"By adding this new technology and expertise from Dewit Plastics, we better position ourselves as a single source for clients for their caps, closures, and now handles, requirements."

Last month, United Caps announced plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Malaysia to meet increasing customer demand in the region for its caps and closures.

Henckes said that the investment will enable local production of about 300 million closures in the first year.

Headquartered in Luxembourg, United Caps specialises in the design and production of highly-performant plastic caps and closures.

The company has manufacturing facilities in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg and Spain.
