Included in the Italian firm’s acquisition is TDS’ product design, prototype and tooling business.
AMB claims the deal will allow it to create a pan-European entity in the rigid and flexible plastic film and packaging solutions market. It will serve regional markets by manufacturing products locally.
The partnership also creates a single point of access to market products and services such as tooling and concept design, product specification, print design and application.
This will enable AMB to offer new products and services in accordance with customer needs by creating one-supplier relationships with them.

“We have always had a clear vision and part of the vision is to create a group that can offer a complete end-to-end process for food packaging customers. [It is] a very exciting time for the market.”
The merged entity will have four facilities across Europe, along with a network of international distribution warehouses consisting of 430 employees.
