Pro-Pac deal strengthens market focus
The firm said Eco’s products were a natural extension to their existing product and customer base in the food industry.
Eco develops and sells food packaging trays for the fresh meat, seafood and poultry industries.
It is based in Sydney but will be relocated and integrated into PPG’s existing infrastructures.
The acquisition will be funded from a combination of the group’s existing bank facilities and internal cash flows and will be earnings accretive in FY14.
Pro-Pac's CEO, Brandon Penn, said: “The purchase of the Eco business is a strategic acquisition into the food packing industry and provides a very good fit for our business and customer base to broaden the product range into a market segment that we are focusing on.”
