Italian packaging manufacturer Pusterla 1880 continues its international expansion with the acquisition of British luxury packaging manufacturer Pollard Boxes.
Pollard Boxes is the UK's leading producer of rigid boxes, and one of Europe's leading manufacturers, specialising in the design and production of packaging for the luxury drinks, beauty, personal care and gaming segments.
Pusterla 1880 announces that this acquisition will enable it to expand its design, development and production resources in the UK market, and to better meet the growing demand for quality and customised services.
Roberto Marini, CEO, and Luca Meana, CFO of Pusterla 1880, comment:
« This landmark acquisition confirms our ambition for the UK market, and strengthens our global positioning in Europe. Pollard Boxes has a reputation for technical excellence and long-standing customer relationships.»
Acquisition of the French group Adine at the beginning of the year
Based in Varese, Lombardy, Pusterla 1880 (its date of birth) specialises in the packaging of luxury products. The company is a major European player in the manufacture of secondary packaging for the perfume, cosmetics and spirits industry. It has production sites in Italy, Romania and France.
Earlier this year, Pusterla 1880 strengthened its portfolio with the acquisition of the Adine Group in France, and announced its partnership with minority investor Andera Partners.
