Berlin Packaging confirms rebranding across EMEA region

Paolo Recrosio

BERLIN Packaging has announced that companies acquired in the EMEA region will take the name of Berlin Packaging along with that of their geographical region.

The glass, plastic and metal packaging and closures specialist said Bruni Glass | Berlin Packaging will continue to exist as a commercial brand to ’emphasise the reputation and historical importance’ that lives on in the new entity’s ‘most prestigious’ glass packaging collections.

“The rebranding operation is part and parcel of our ‘glocal’ expansion plan, which strives for new European acquisitions and investments, while building the brand awareness of our company as a hybrid packaging supplier,” explained Paolo Recrosio, CEO of Berlin Packaging EMEA. “In 2021, Berlin Packaging concluded almost one acquisition per month in EMEA, and we expect to continue with the same intensity in the next 12-18 months, adding operations that increase the company’s EMEA revenue which is now approaching $1 billion. New offices will be opened in EMEA, from France to Holland and the new headquarters for the entire EMEA area will be located in Milan.”

Bill Hayes, CEO and president of Berlin Packaging, added, “Berlin Packaging views each acquisition with an eye towards organic growth. Our approach involves retaining the acquired company’s employees, leadership teams, and physical locations, making them strategic partners of our team under the same banner. Our size and global scale brings unique capabilities and new value-added services to our newly-acquired companies – including innovation and design, financial backing and resources, 1700 global suppliers, local warehousing/fulfilment, and consulting services in critical areas such as sustainability and branding.”
