Recently established Pyroll Netherlands BV has purchased all the shares of Boxbored Holding BV and its subsidiary Winpac Netherlands BV. Pyroll will take the full control in Winpac in the end of January 2015. The acquisition supports strongly Pyroll Contract Converting business area’s strategy in expanding its presence also in the Western Europe.
Winpac is located in Winschoten, in the Northern Netherlands. The location close to customers gives a strong foothold for Pyroll in the future. The acquisition has a positive influence on future development of the plant in Winschoten – and also on the whole Contract Converting business area of Pyroll. The plan is to create within three years a state-of-the-art sheeting service facility. By investing heavily on new technology, the idea is to increase the capacity and strengthen the already good service capability.
“We are glad that we were able to finalize the acquisition with Mr. Engel Kuiper, whom I want to thank for taking a good care of the company during his ownership. It is easier to continue from here, when the strong foundation for sustainable business has been built. We believe that especially service sheeting for paper and paperboard producers in their main market area will increase, and therefore we were encouraged to take a next step in expanding our service network”, says Mr. Reino Uusitalo, the owner and chairman of the board in Pyroll Group.
