SÜDPACK has acquired the Netherlands-based LPF Flexible Packaging B.V. from the Clondalkin Group. LPF was founded in 1907 and has long-standing experience in the development and production of packaging materials, being a leading manufacturer of high barrier films for sensitive products.
In addition to extensive product and industry expertise, LPF has extensive R&D and business development resources to support its strategy. Moreover, the company has a high-quality base of machinery and infrastructure and is well-invested and supported by a highly-skilled technical department. To ensure operational effectiveness, LPF’s processes are optimized for the production of high-quality laminated films, according to a press release.
“We value LPF’s high level of development and market competence and plan to establish the site in Grootegast as a Competence Center for High-Performance Laminates over the long term within the SÜDPACK Group. In doing so, we want to further expand SÜDPACK’s expertise and performance portfolio in the development and production of high-performance laminates for various applications in order to serve attractive emerging markets and tap into new markets,” Erik Bouts, CEO of SÜDPACK said.
