Berlin Packaging has completed the acquisition of BlueSky, a UK-based company.
The Chicago, US, based hybrid packaging supplier specialises in the supply of glass, plastic and metal packaging and closures.
Its acquisition of BlueSky, which specialises in packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, beauty, personal care, home care, and beverage markets, will strengthen Berlin Packaging’s position in the UK market.
Marcel Schröder, President of Berlin Packaging EMEA, said: “The acquisition of BlueSky represents a strategic step in expanding our presence and capabilities in the UK market.
“BlueSky brings deep cross-sector expertise and a complementary portfolio of materials and packaging solutions that enhance our existing offering.
“Its strong customer-centric approach and value-added services align closely with Berlin Packaging’s business model.
“We are thrilled to team up with the professionals at BlueSky to serve our customers, and we are confident this new chapter will allow us to deliver even more comprehensive solutions to our collective customers while supporting their continued growth.”
BlueSky, headquartered in Grimsby, UK, is a family-owned business that supplies plastic, metal, and glass packaging solutions, including specialised containers, closures, and dispensing systems.
The company has welcomed the acquisition, highlighting the opportunities it presents for future growth.
Russell Wade, Managing Director of BlueSky, said: “Joining Berlin Packaging marks an exciting new chapter for both our team and, most importantly, our customers.
“By combining our highly responsive, consultative service with Berlin’s global scale, sourcing strength, and innovation capabilities, we will be able to offer our customers a broader range of packaging solutions, enhanced supply chain resilience, and even greater support as they grow.”
