Global Closure Systems is a privately owned French factory network which produces closures for beverage containers and other purposes. It operates from 21 plants globally[1] under various brand names, including Astra Plastique, Bender, Massmould, Obrist, UCP and Zeller Plastik.
History
The company was created as a result of the purchase by PAI Partners, a French private equity firm, of the closures business previously operated by Crown Holdings Inc[2][3] for $750 million.
Packaging giant RPC Group plc is set to significantly extend its global presence after it announced plans to buy Global Closure Systems for 650 million euros ($714.6 million).
The deal, which is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, was scheduled to be complete by the end of March.
