The Weener Plastic Packaging Group is a company for plastic packaging for the personal care and cosmetics, food, household, chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. There are manufacturing facilities in 16 countries. The company employs around 2,000 people.
history
The company was founded in Weener in 1960 with 40 employees and began manufacturing tube and tube closures for the pharmaceutical market. When the area became too small, the company moved to Industriestrasse. Between 1990 and 2000, new locations were taken over and opened. In February 2012 it was announced that the US private equity firm Lindsay Goldberg Vogel was taking over the company. The Plasticum Group was then incorporated into the Weener Plastic Packaging Group in 2013. In June 2015, 3i announced that it wanted to invest in the Weener Plastic Packaging Group.
Products
Hinged lids, screw caps, tube caps, valve caps, beverage caps, dosing systems, cosmetic packaging, roll-on balls / deodorant balls, jars and lids as well as PET bottles are produced.
In 2015 it became known that Weener Plastik will also manufacture table tennis balls in the future and thus penetrate the Chinese-dominated market.
The company developed the “CleanSqueeze” valve closure as an upside-down and drip-free dosage packaging for honey.
