SCA has acquired the German, family-owned packaging company V+D Stabernack. The acquisition is part of the strategy to develop a European network for the production of high-value packaging products with advanced printing.
Stabernack's operations are primarily focused on premium packaging with advanced printing. In addition to packaging products, Stabernack manufactures display products, such as point-of-sale displays of corrugated board and other products for displaying customers' products in stores.
Stabernack has four integrated corrugated box plants in Germany, as well as an additional six independent conversion and service units in Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Poland, some of which are completely focused on the design and manufacture of point-of-sale displays.
The acquisition primarily supplements the corresponding operations that SCA conducts in France through SCA Nicollet and in several other European units and is intended to strengthen SCA's network of units that can serve the rapidly growing need throughout Europe for premium packaging with advanced printing. Through the acquisition of Stabernack SCA will also be able to further increase its liner integration, locally and totally.
SCA's German packaging operations currently include two testliner mills as well as extensive corrugated box operations. The corrugated business consists of two units for the production of packaging with advanced print, but is in other respects mainly focused on traditional transport packaging.Latest from Recycling Today
