Constantia Flexibles (cflex.com) has successfully completed the sale of its Labels division to Multi-Color Corporation (mcclabel.com). Constantia Flexibles will continue to participate in the future success story of Multi-Color through a 16.6% shareholding.
The transaction brings together the high-performing food and beverage business of Constantia Flexibles’ labels division with Multi-Color’s strong wine & spirit and home & personal care platforms, as well as an emerging global position in healthcare. The combined annual revenues of the two businesses will be approximately $1.7 billion.
“We would like to thank all employees of the Labels division for their tremendous contributions to our Group in the past and wish them a successful future as part of Multi-Color. Constantia Flexibles will use the proceeds from the transaction to deleverage its balance sheet and enable further acquisitions in the dynamic and consolidating flexible packaging industry.
