Berlin Packaging announced the acquisition of Verrerie Calvet, a packaging supplier located in Aimargues, France. Verrerie Calvet brings extensive experience in packaging for wine, spirits, olive oil and gourmet seasonings, marinades and sauces.
Verrerie Calvet has been an important supplier of packaging for more than 20 years. Last year, the company worked with more than 1,700 companies in France and across Europe. The company offers glass bottles and jars along with a wide range of metal containers, closures, and specialty boxes and bags for transporting and shipping wine and oil. The company also offers glass customization and decoration, including an in-house screenprinting service.
Berlin Packaging is a $2.6 billion global supplier of rigid packaging products and services to customers of all types across all sectors. The company has a stronghold in North America, where it has operated since 1898. Berlin Packaging operates in Europe through its Bruni Glass division – with headquarters in Milan, Italy, and locations and warehouses through Italy, France and Spain – and its Bruni Erben division – with locations and warehouses in England, Scotland and South Africa.
“I am proud of what we have built, and I know this new partnership will bring much more opportunity for our customers and employees,” said Stéphan Calvet who, along with his brother Eric, owned and operated Verrerie Calvet. The Calvet brothers will continue with the company and all Verrerie Calvet employees will also remain with the business.
Plans for investment and growth are already underway.
“Joining with Verrerie Calvet strengthens our enterprise in France and across Europe. The team is talented, and the product and service offerings are excellent. Our operations in France have grown at double-digit rates every year, and now I expect even better things for our future together,” said Paolo Recrosio, managing director of Bruni Glass, a Berlin Packaging company.
The acquisition of Verrerie Calvet is expected to close in the following weeks. Integration planning is already underway.
