Weener Plastics Packaging Group (Ede / The Netherlands; www.wppg.de) has relocated its corporate headquarters from Weener / Germany to Ede / The Netherlands. The company is also implementing a new corporate identity based around a “Clear & Clean” mantra as part of strengthening its position as a global supplier of rigid plastics packaging.

Weener Plastics CEO Roel Zeevat said: “Today, WPPG is a market-leading global plastic packaging company offering innovative packaging to our customers from 24 operations in 16 countries. The clear positioning and name change better reflect our company’s current structure and increasingly diverse and widespread global activities.”

As part of the new identity, subsidiary Plasticum Netherlands, which recently doubled capacity at its Ede facility – see Plasteurope.com of 17.03.2015 – has been renamed Weener Plastics Netherlands; in the UK, Plasticum Norwich has been renamed Weener Plastics Norwich; and Plasticum Ilkenhans (Waldkirch / Germany) is now called Weener Plastik Ilkenhans.
