Filtrona, a British supplier of specialist plastic, fibre and foam products, recently announced that it has completed the acquisition of Contego Healthcare Limited with effect from 30 April.
Contego’s product portfolio is complementary to the Filtrona’s existing packaging solutions capabilities in the pharmaceutical and healthcare markets of labels, tear tape and authentication technologies.
As such, the acquisition will not only enhance the range and innovation opportunities offered to existing Contego and Filtrona customers, but also provide access for both companies to potential new customers through leveraging their combined skills. In addition, through adding critical mass to Filtrona in these end-markets and significant additional scale in western Europe, the acquisition of Contego provides opportunity for further development in both Porous Technologies and in speciality tapes through an expanded and more focused category-based commercial approach.
