RPC Group Plc, (RPC) a leading global plastic product design and engineering company for both packaging and selected non-packaging markets, has announced it has purchased Amber Plastics Pty Ltd (Amber) for an undisclosed sum.
Amber is a leading supplier of injection moulded plastic packaging containers to the dairy and food industry in Australia.
Amber was established in 2012 by Malcolm Prior, who has more than 35 years’ experience in the Australian plastics packaging industry.
The acquisition represents an excellent opportunity for RPC, as part of its Vision 2020 growth strategy, to capitalise on opportunities in growing markets outside of Europe.
Amber will form part of the RPC Superfos Division and thereby take advantage of the readily available extensive product portfolio specifically designed to serve both the Food and Non-food end-markets.
The Amber acquisition is the second within four months by RPC in Australia.
The sale of Amber was managed by Transworld Business Advisors (Mergers & Acquisitions) in Melbourne.
