FOOD packaging manufacturer PFF Group has completed the acquisition of Sedgefield-based Sirap UK.
Sirap UK is a £13 million turnover business that was part of the Italian Sirap Group. The firm produces thermoformed rigid plastic food packaging.
The move is part of PFF Group’s expansion plans. The business recently launched a health division with an investment of £2 million and has been producing millions of disposable polythene aprons at its Washington site in the north east of England for use by NHS and social care workers.
PFF Group MD Kenton Robbins said, “We’re delighted with the acquisition of Sirap UK which allows us to combine two long-standing and highly regarded businesses in the packaging sector. This investment forms a key part of the group’s continued growth strategy, increasing our brand share of the UK’s thermoforming sector, and a fantastic opportunity for us to manufacture a wider variety of products to a more diverse range of customers.
“We look forward to realising the significant synergies that Sirap UK and PFF Group have and the opportunities for growth and scale that this presents for the group.”
