Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Graphic Packaging Holding Co., Atlanta, Ga., USA, a provider of packaging solutions to food, beverage, and other consumer products companies, has completed the previously announced acquisitions of Contego Packaging Holdings, Ltd., a food and consumer products packaging company based in the U.K., and A&R Carton Holding B.V., which is A&R's European beer and beverage packaging business. The combination of Graphic Packaging's European packaging business with these two acquisitions will create one of Europe's largest folding carton businesses.

The two acquisitions will provide state of the art web and sheet-fed converting assets, creating a manufacturing platform in Europe similar to Graphic Packaging's U.S. operations.
