Berlin Packaging reports that all employees and locations for this acquisition will be retained.

The company is known in the industry for its regular acquisitions, which have recently included Coropoulis Packaging and StyleGlass. Its beauty and cosmetics offering is a key segment, as displayed in a stand-alone booth at Luxe Pack Monaco in September.
