Mondi is acquiring Schumacher Packaging’s Western Europe packaging assets. The acquisition of the German, Benelux and UK corrugated converting and solid board operations will expand Mondi’s corrugated footprint in Western Europe and add complementary fiber-based products focused on e-commerce and FMCG. The acquisition includes seven corrugated converting plants, two solid board mills and four solid board converting plants, adding over one billion square meters of capacity once fully operational. Among the acquired sites are two “mega-box” plants in Germany, located at Ebersdorf and Greven. These plants are said to have “best-in-class” production speed and operational efficiency and highly skilled workforce with a culture aligned with Mondi’s.
