Collcap and Quadpack merge

Packaging Solutions

UK packaging provider Collcap Group Ltd and international packaging manufacturer and provider Quadpack Industries SA have merged. The combined group will retain the Quadpack name. Quadpack Industries is now a leading presence in Europe for the manufacture and supply of packaging solutions to the beauty industry.

Collcap’s office in Leek, Staffordshire, will be the centre of the group’s UK operations, while Quadpack’s Barcelona office in Spain remains as global headquarters. Collcap founder John McDermott becomes a Quadpack Industries board member.

He said, ‘Both Collcap and Quadpack are healthy, thriving companies which, together, boast increased market share, resources and purchasing power and, by consequence, competitive edge. Add to that our strengths in market knowledge, product development, creativity and technical expertise, and you have a winning formula.’

Quadpack Industries CEO Tim Eaves sees the merger as a natural progression for the two companies. ‘Collcap and Quadpack have had a long standing relationship of mutual respect. Our values, our mentality, our structure, our processes – they all coincide. We each enjoy a loyal client base. We have a shared vision for the future. We’re a hand in glove fit.’

Each company tenders its own strengths to the new operation. Collcap brings extensive expertise in glass containers and plastic tubes, a talented team and a robust sourcing operation in Asia. Quadpack brings a global infrastructure in sales, marketing, sourcing and logistics, as well as a European manufacturing division.
