Berlin Packaging<\/a> has taken over BlueSky, a UK-based packaging company focused on pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, beauty, personal care, home care, and beverage markets. Through the acquisition, the US hybrid packaging supplier aims to strengthen its position in these segments in the UK and EMEA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe acquisition of BlueSky represents a strategic step in expanding our presence and capabilities in the UK market,\u201d says Marcel Schr\u00f6der, president at Berlin Packaging<\/a> EMEA.\u00a0\u201cBlueSky brings cross-sector expertise and a complementary portfolio of materials and packaging solutions that enhance our existing offering.\u201d<\/p>\n

Headquartered in Grimsby, UK, BlueSky is a family-owned supplier of plastic, metal, and glass packaging solutions, including specialized containers, closures, and dispensing systems. It specializes in serving small and medium-sized customers with its sourcing expertise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIts strong customer-centric approach and value-added services align closely with Berlin Packaging\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Russell Wade, managing director at BlueSky, adds: \u201cJoining Berlin Packaging marks a new chapter for our team and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBy combining our highly responsive, consultative service with Berlin\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boosting European presence\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, Berlin Packaging acquired <\/a>the Italy-based cosmetics company Cosmei to expand its personal care sector reach. It also partnered <\/a>with Origin Materials to leverage its PET 1881 caps to enable lighter packaging.<\/p>\n

Discussing the European packaging sector with Packaging Insights, Berlin Packaging highlighted <\/a>the positive aspects of regulatory pressure, including the UK\u2019s packaging EPR and the EU\u2019s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation and Green Claims Directive, arguing it spurs innovation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThese regulations will drive us to enhance our efforts in testing the recyclability of our packaging, replacing non-compliant packaging with innovative solutions, and reducing material usage without compromising on packaging performance, look, and feel while ensuring compliance with the stricter material and labeling standards,\u201d the packager said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Berlin Packaging has taken over BlueSky, a UK-based packaging company focused on pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, beauty, personal care, home…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":108379,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[99],"tags":[3660,112,53461,13567,10249,190,4913],"class_list":["post-108378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-berlin","tag-acquisitions","tag-berlin","tag-berlin-packaging","tag-bluesky","tag-emea","tag-germany","tag-hybrid"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116754992891085605","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/108379"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
