Food packaging producer PFF Group has acquired the Sedgefield-based Sirap UK, as part of the company’s plan for expansion.
PFF Group, a family-owned business, is an independent food packaging manufacturer supplying supermarkets, multi-national food manufacturers, food service and fresh produce companies across the country.
Sirap UK was part of the Italian Sirap Group, producing and supplying thermoformed rigid plastic food packaging.
“A fantastic opportunity”
PFF Group managing director 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.”
He added: “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.”
