The acquisition is part of Berlin Packaging’s plan to strengthen its position as leading provider of integrated packaging solutions.
The acquisition of Sarom Packaging and Romgallia is a significant step in Berlin Packaging’s strategy to expand on the emerging markets in Eastern Europe, said Elias Valavanis, chief executive officer Eastern Europe, Mediterranean and Middle East region with Berlin Packaging.
Founded as a family business in Romania in 1992, Sarom Packaging is a leading supplier of glass packaging for the food and beverage industries, specializing in wine bottles and closures.
Romgallia, established in Romania in 1999, specializes in packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, serving customers throughout Romania and Eastern Europe.
Before being acquired by Berlin Packaging, the two companies were equally held by brothers Jacques-Edouard Savoiu and Paul-Eugene Savoiu, who will continue in management roles.
