AR Packaging is broadening its offering to the UK food and healthcare customers by adding local folding carton production through the acquisition of Firstan Holdings Ltd, including its subsidiary Firstan Limited.
The acquisition of Firstan now adds local manufacturing of folding cartons and thereby enables a unique wide offering of multicategory packaging solutions mainly to the food and healthcare customers.
“Together with our existing two plants in the UK, Firstan provides an excellent platform for further growth in this important and fast-moving market," said Harald Schulz, CEO and President of AR Packaging.
“I am happy to see our company take the next step in its development and join AR Packaging”, said Andrew Hartwig, the previous majority shareholder and managing director of Firstan Holdings Ltd. “Our strategically located and well-invested facility will together with our skilled team add further capabilities to AR Packaging and we will together offer extended services to all UK customers.”
