Sharp Interpack has snapped up Rexam’s Deeside packaging operations.

It acquired assets and the order book from Rexam plc for its Deeside thermoforming business, which will be incorporated into the group’s Yate operation near Bristol.

Andrew Copson, deputy managing director of the group said: “This acquisition confirms Sharp Interpack as the pre-eminent deployer of the RTF technology to the benefit of our customer base, and brings us exposure to new market segments where we can offer our blend of environmentally sound, innovative and cost-effective packaging solutions.”
