The company Van Genechten Packaging, Turnhout, has acquired 100% of the shares of the Polish DOT2DOT Group, which operates from two locations in Poland.  

The group of companies, with a combined annual turnover exceeding € 50 m, specialises in premium packaging for the beauty, confectionery, personal & health care, and premium spirits sectors. DOT2DOT SA, in its present form with their current locations in Gdansk and Warsaw, is the result of the 2017 merger of three Polish companies in the packaging industry: Graf-Pozu; Druk Markuszewscy; and Drukpol. DOT2DOT was owned by a subsidiary of a fund managed by Abris Capital Partners.

With DOT2DOT’s solid customer base, advanced packaging design, and robust production capabilities, they are the perfect partner to join our VGP growth strategy. The transaction is subject to the usual anti-trust approvals. “Apart from sharing the same DNA, we are leveraging our capabilities in several strategic market segments. With this acquisition, we are not only strengthening our European market position in premium packaging but also significantly extending our multinational customer base. We look forward to a successful collaboration and the exciting opportunities ahead,” explains Frank Ohle, CEO of Van Genechten Packaging Group.
