Global packaging leader Sonoco announces the expansion of its flexible packaging service operations with the acquisition of Inapel Embalagens Ltda. in Brazil.
Inapel has been an industry leading flexible packaging manufacturer for over 50 years. The company currently operates two facilities in São Paulo – one in Jundiai and the other in Guarulhos – with approximately 500 employees companywide. Production capabilities range from rotogravure printing, adhesive and extrusion laminations, specialty coatings, cold seal, pouching and cylinder engraving.
Inapel will add to Sonoco’s existing flexible packaging operation in Pinhais, Brazil. The Sonoco Graffo site has been a top producer of high-quality rotogravure printing and sophisticated lamination for eight years and is one of the largest converters of foil-based flexibles packaging.
Sonoco Flexibles Managing Director Eduardo Nunes will extend his regional leadership duties to the São Paulo locations with support from Alvarez and Saniotto.
Founded in 1899, Sonoco is a global provider of consumer and industrial packaging products.
