Huhtamaki has today acquired BCP Fluted Packaging Limited, a corrugated packaging specialist based in Blackburn, Lancashire. The company employs approximately 120 people and serves the cosmetics, foodservice and confectionery markets. With this acquisition Huhtamaki continues to implement its strategy of quality growth and expands its product offering in Europe.
“I am extremely pleased to have BCP join the Huhtamaki Group,” says Brian Jones, Chairman of BCP. “BCP has achieved great success and growth in the last 10 years and Huhtamaki has both the desire and the resources to grow the BCP business even further.”
The acquired business will be renamed Huhtamaki BCP Ltd. and it will become part of Huhtamaki’s Foodservice Europe-Asia-Oceania business segment.
“We look forward to serving BCP’s current and future customers in the confectionery and cosmetics industries,” says Eric Le Lay, Executive Vice President Foodservice Europe-Asia-Oceania. ”BCP’s corrugated food-to-go products complement our existing range of foodservice products perfectly and the range extension allows us to even better serve our existing customers with food, snacks and bakery packaging.”
