Crawford Packaging makes double acquisition

Ontario-based Crawford Packaging has completed the acquisition of Celplast Packaging Systems Ltd (Celplast) and BVM USA

Celplast, a Canadian shrink films, food trays and lids, lidding films and heat sealable films company, has a deep line of packaging equipment for a variety of markets including food and produce packaging, beverage, print and publishing, building materials, contract packaging and industrial manufacturing

BVM USA, the North American distribution arm of Germany-based BVM Brunner equipment, specialises in manufacturing high-quality innovative packaging machines. Since 1985 BVM has established its position among the leading manufacturers of shrink, overwrap, bundling, supplies transport and feeding equipment on the international market.

This acquisition represents Crawford’s commitment to grow and expand their offering of products and expertise to clients across North America. The addition of Celplast and BVM USA aims to strengthen Crawford’s existing “Shrink It Right” packaging programme that identifies areas of inefficiency and offer improvements that can reduce costs by up to 30%.

Celplast and BVM USA will continue to operate independently and will become divisions of Crawford Packaging, who will assist Celpast and BVM USA during the expansion period.
