We are excited to welcome Grupo Phoenix and its innovative products and people to the Tekni-Plex family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Grupo Phoenix manufactures rigid packaging and specializes in innovative and sustainable custom packaging solutions with capabilities in the United States, Colombia and Mexico and customers in over 30 countries. \u201cWe are thrilled to join Tekni-Plex.

Combining Grupo Phoenix\u2019s entrepreneurial and innovation spirit with Tekni-Plex\u2019s global footprint and resources is designed to create a first-class scalable platform for continuous growth,\u201d said Alberto Peisach, CEO of Grupo Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p>Grupo Phoenix serves as a strategic packaging partner to leading FMCG brands across multiple categories and segments such as dairy, desserts, coffee, beverages, ice cream, soups, spreads, cosmetics and household cleaning, serving over 20 vertical markets. \u201cWe started in Colombia and expanded throughout Latin America; then with the unwavering support of our partners, JP Morgan and OEP, who believed in a small family company, we entered the United States market. Our focused business strategy has allowed us to identify consumer trends early and respond quickly to the market,\u201d completed Peisach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis acquisition plays to strengths of Dolco, Tri-Seal and Action Technologies business units by expanding the range of solutions we offer our customers, leveraging a broader range of materials for sustainability and approaching challenges with a consumer-driven mindset,\u201d said Eldon Schaffer, CEO of Tekni-Plex Consumer Products Division. \u201cThis deal also allows us to leverage Grupo\u2019s footprint in Latin America and expand our presence in the region,\u201d completed Mr. Schaffer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGrupo Phoenix brings a complementary culture to our organization. We look forward to welcoming them to our team. The people are high energy, extremely competitive and very focused on bringing market-driven ideas with a consumer orientation,\u201d according to Ms. Chamulak.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a great eye for identifying early how consumers shop the perimeter of the store including fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy products, meats, poultry, fish, as well as the center aisle product, single serve coffee. These will continue to be areas of special emphasis for us,\u201d added Jaime Lederman, Chief Operations Officer at Grupo Phoenix. \u201cFinally, Grupo not only has great capabilities in plastics, including PET and PP, but also paper and other sustainable substrates which will be incredibly important to our combined businesses, as we continue our journey to being more material and technology agnostic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is the 15th acquisition that Tekni-Plex has completed over the past five years, supporting its strategy to grow its business though transformative acquisitions and strategic add-ons.<\/p>\n<p>The closing of the acquisition is conditioned upon regulatory approval.<\/p>\n<p>Moelis &amp; Company LLC. and Simpson Thacher served as Grupo Phoenix advisors while Ropes &amp; Gray LLP assisted Tekni-Plex.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Grupo Phoenix<\/strong><br \/>\nGrupo Phoenix is one of the fastest growing, most innovative sustainable rigid packaging companies in the Americas.
