Gerresheimer acquires another Indian packaging company

Aiming to further accelerate its growth in the emerging markets, Gerresheimer AG has acquired the majority shareholding in the Indian company Triveni, a leading manufacturer of plastic containers and closures for the pharma industry with a strong track record of more than a decade production of regulated pharma packaging. “This acquisition is well aligned to our strategy of enhancing our footprint in the emerging markets. Triveni is a leading and fast growing company with excellent profitability that provides high value for us. Our global expertise combined with the excellent local manufacturing capabilities of Triveni will speed up our growth in the emerging countries,” commented Hans-Jürgen Wiecha, CFO of Gerresheimer AG.

Notably, in April 2012, Gerresheimer also took over Neutral Glass, a leading Indian manufacturer of pharmaceutical glass packaging products. With five plants in South America, six in China and now two plants in India, as well as a representative office in Moscow, Gerresheimer is well represented in the fast-growing emerging countries.
