Aluflexpack AG: Successful closing of acquisition in Turkey

Reinach (pta081/12.05.2022/18:00 UTC+2)

Aluflexpack AG (hereinafter referred to as "Aluflexpack", "Group"), a leading European manufacturer of premium flexible packaging solutions, today announces the successful completion of the acquisition of an 80% stake in Teko. Teko is the domestic market leader in the flexible packaging dairy and beverage industry in Turkey as well as adjacent countries, ideally complementing the Group's existing production footprint in Turkey, which is focused on the pharmaceutical end market. The integration of Teko in the Aluflexpack Group will further strengthen Aluflexpack's market presence in the growing Turkish consumer goods market and accelerate the Group's growth ambitions across the MENA region.

Turkey is a highly attractive and strategic market for Aluflexpack with favourable growth dynamics in the flexible packaging industry driven by structural factors such as increasing disposable personal income, population growth, urbanisation, and rising exposure to modern retail channels. Teko, producing flexible packaging for a diverse portfolio of international and local customers in the food retail industry, is in an excellent position to capitalise from these structural factors.

With annual net sales of c. € 16m in 2021, the company employed roughly 120 people, operating one production plant close to Istanbul.
