Sidel acquires Comep, expands its moulds and tooling offering

Machinery maker Sidel has acquired Cognac Moules Emballages Plastiques (Comep), a French producer and designer of moulds for PET, adding further strength to the group in the manufacturing of moulds and tooling.

Comep was created in 1998 to focus on the design and manufacturing of moulds for PET bottles. Based in Salles-d’Angles, France, with more than 20 years of experience in this industry, it produces over 4,000 moulds/year for customers around the world. With around 60 employees, they were a first mover in the low blowing pressure technologies.

Comep and Sidel will remain set on their current focuses with a strong, adapted go-to-market strategy to leverage their respective capabilities, while offering a full set of packaging services to companies bottling their products in PET. “We are confident that each company’s expertise will prove key in meeting the growing need for complete packaging solutions this industry is showing. We, in turn, are joining a leading, global player in the packaging design and manufacturing industry,” adds Comep’s CEO Christophe Amarant.

Comep will represent a separate channel to market for moulds and tooling. This means that Comep and Sidel will take distinct commercial approaches while sharing best practices and capitalising on efficiencies whenever possible.
