Frapak Packaging is one of Europe’s leading suppliers of glass and sustainable plastic packaging for the cosmetics, household, and food sectors.
This strategic transaction, carried out with the support of MML Capital, builds on the partnership already established and marks a new milestone in the international development of SC Pack.
Founded over 45 years ago and headquartered in the Netherlands, Frapak Packaging has established itself as a key player in the European primary packaging industry in both plastic and glass, thanks to its unique expertise and proven ability to deliver both standard and customized solutions.
With this acquisition, the SC Pack Group will:
• Strengthen its presence across Europe
• Expand its product portfolio by integrating complementary expertise in sustainable plastic packaging
• Consolidate its position as a key provider of responsible and innovative packaging solutions
This acquisition is the result of a long-standing partnership between the two companies and will enable the newly combined SC Pack Group to achieve a turnover of nearly €350 million and bring together around 500 experienced packaging professionals in more than 15 European countries.
Marco Bos, CEO of Frapak Packaging, is reinvesting significantly alongside the Allemandou family and MML, becoming one of the group’s main investors. He also becomes a Founding Managing Partner and joins the Executive Committee of SC Pack, further strengthening his involvement in the group’s strategy and leadership.
The strategic and operational positions of Frapak Packaging and SC Pack will remain in place, as will its current leadership team and managers, ensuring continuity of operations and close relationships with clients.
Stéphane and Christophe Allemandou, Founders of the SC Pack Group said:
The integration of Frapak into SC Pack is fully aligned with our European growth strategy and allows us to broaden our expertise in packaging solutions, particularly in the field of sustainable plastics.
Marco Bos added:
Joining SC Pack is a tremendous opportunity for Frapak. We share common values and a vision focused on innovation and sustainability, supporting customers with our packaging experience.
Henry-Louis Mérieux and Louis de Montille commented:
We are very pleased to renew our trust in the Allemandou family and to support SC Pack in this new stage of its development. The integration of Frapak strengthens SC Pack’s position as a leading player in Europe. We will continue to support this pan-European expansion, in line with the successive acquisitions and partnerships already carried out.
SC Pack and Frapak are delighted to combine their expertise and build on their market leading positions. Together, the two companies will strengthen their ability to support customers with solutions that are ever more innovative, responsible, and tailored to market needs.
