The packaging machine group IMA Dairy & Food has signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in CDE-Packaging GmbH in Glauburg, Germany.
The company was previously owned by the managing partner Peter Walter, who founded it in 2010. The company's focus is on the design and construction of tailor-made machines that are developed according to customer-specific requirements.
The scope ranges from the development of single machines to complete turnkey solutions - this also includes the development of packaging concepts as well as testing new packaging materials. Like the companies of the group, the company is very active in the dairy and food industry, however, specific packaging solutions for the cosmetics industry have also been developed.
The integration of the company into the group primarily expands the know-how in the FFS area within the group. This means that customer requests can be dealt with in even more detail and specific solutions, such as for example fillers or labelling systems, can be enhanced and developed.
It also offers retrofit and upgrade services for existing FFS machines. The machines are adapted to the latest technical standards through conversions and upgrades to meet current and future challenges.
The location in Glauburg, home to about 15 employees, will remain and therefore become the competence center for customer-specific machine solutions and developments.
Thomas Becker, CEO and partner of IMA Dairy & Food group, said, “Thanks to the long lasting experience of Peter Walter and his team in the development and construction of packaging machines, we can use synergies within the group. In addition, we can fall back on the company's additional expertise in the field of retrofitting in order to offer our FFS customers the opportunity to bring their existing machines up to date and to extend their service life.”
Peter Walter, managing director of CDE Packaging, said, “With the worldwide sales and service network of IMA Dairy & Food we can build up and expand our presence in markets that we were previously unable to cover with our sales team.”
