Stora Enso has completed the acquisition of the Netherland based company De Jong Packaging Group, one of the largest corrugated packaging producers in the Benelux countries. The acquisition announced in September 2022 with an enterprise value of approximately EUR1020 million was closed following regulatory clearances and employee consultation.
The acquisition will significantly strengthen Stora Enso’s presence in European packaging markets and provide an entry into the corrugated packaging market in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK. With the acquisition, the company’s Packaging Solutions’ division will increase its corrugated packaging capacity by approximately 1200 million m2 to more than 2000 million m2, including De Jong Packaging Group’s ongoing expansion projects.
De Jong Packaging Group’s full year 2022 sales is estimated at approximately EUR1 billion. Its product portfolio and geographic presence complement and enhance Stora Enso’s offering, especially in fresh produce, e-commerce and industrial packaging.
‘I am pleased to officially welcome De Jong Packaging Group as part of Stora Enso. This acquisition advances our strategic direction by accelerating revenue growth and building market share in renewable packaging in Europe,’ said Prsident and CEO Annica Bresky.
