MM advances on its growth strategy for Packaging

The Mayr-Melnhof Group (MM) acquired 100% of the shares in Eson Pac,
headquartered in Veddige, Sweden, from the majority shareholder Nalka
Invest AB as well as family and management minority shareholders.

With total sales of about EUR 48 million, Eson Pac develops, produces and
distributes high-quality secondary packaging solutions for the
pharmaceutical industry. The company has three production sites in Sweden
and one in Denmark focusing on folding cartons, leaflets and labels.
Currently Eson Pac employs approximately 300 people.

„With this acquisition we strengthen our footprint within the Premium
business of the Packaging division. The transaction ideally complements
our current customer base and offers attractive new opportunities. In
combination with our existing operations we can offer more innovative and
sustainable solutions for our customers. We have great confidence that
together with the highly qualified team of Eson Pac we will shape the
common growth path“, comments MM CEO, Peter Oswald.

 

MM is Europe’s leading producer of cartonboard and folding cartons with an
attractive offer in kraft papers and uncoated fine papers. We promote
sustainable development through innovative, recyclable packaging and paper
products made from renewable, fiber-based raw materials. Therefore, all
activities related to sustainability, environment and safety have special
priority. MM generates sales of approximately EUR 3.5 billion and employs
around 12,800 people (incl. Eson Pac acquisition).
