15 October 2024

Antalis has announced the acquisition of Spanish packaging specialist Plaesa. This acquisition expands Antalis' offering in technical packaging solutions and supports the company's growth strategy in the Iberian Peninsula.

Antalis has taken a further step in its expansion strategy in Spain with the acquisition of Plaesa. Plaesa, a family business founded in 1983, offers customised packaging solutions and serves customers in industries such as manufacturing, medical, defence and retail. With 38 employees and an annual turnover of 6 million euros, Plaesa is well established in the provinces of Madrid and Toledo.

The acquisition will enable Antalis to further expand its portfolio of innovative and environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Hervé Poncin, CEO of the Antalis Group, emphasised that this acquisition will enable Antalis to expand its offering in the Iberian Peninsula. Plaesa brings extensive expertise in the processing of foams, rigid plastics and sustainable materials such as wood and cork.

Plaesa has invested in modern production facilities in recent years in order to further expand its capacities. Rafael Trufero of Plaesa explained that joining Antalis will accelerate his company's growth and facilitate access to new sectors, including the furniture and automotive industries. The acquisition is still subject to customary closing conditions, but is considered a significant milestone in Antalis' growth strategy.
