The new company will be based in Altstätten. The new joint partner and CEO is Jan Schürmann, previously head of global marketing at SIG Combibloc (Linnich / Germany; www.combibloc.com).
The newly formed consumer packaging company has some 200 employees and annual sales of around CHF 80m (EUR 50m). SwissPrimePack develops and manufactures packaging for the food industry in Switzerland and neighbouring countries. The group has subsidiaries in France and the UK.
