Berlin Packaging, the world’s largest hybrid packaging supplier, announced the acquisitions of Repli and Pentapackaging, two leading plastic packaging companies.
Repli, based in Barcelona, Spain, and Pentapackaging, based in Bergamo, Italy, will significantly expand Berlin Packaging’s product portfolio for several key end markets, including industrial and specialty chemicals, food and beverage, household care, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Repli and Pentapackaging also bring over 9,000 square meters of additional warehouse space in Spain and Italy.

This is Berlin Packaging’s ninth acquisition in Europe since 2016, demonstrating its strong commitment to offer packaging solutions across all substrates and end markets throughout Europe.
“The additions of Repli and Pentapackaging strengthen our offering in southern Europe, enabling us to better support customers of all sizes across all verticals,” said Paolo Recrosio, CEO of Berlin Packaging Europe.
