Aluflexpack acquired by Constantia Flexibles
Context
Constantia Flexibles has successfully completed the acquisition of a majority stake in Aluflexpack AG. The transaction was structured in two phases: the acquisition of a 57% controlling block from the main shareholders, followed by an all-cash public tender offer for all remaining publicly held shares. The strategic rationale for the merger is to create a European champion in flexible packaging with an enhanced technology portfolio and a significantly broader geographical footprint, specifically expanding Constantia's presence in Poland, Türkiye, and Southeast Europe. The combination is expected to drive substantial synergies in R&D and sustainable product development, particularly in the aluminum-based segments for coffee and pharma. Following the acquisition, Aluflexpack will be integrated into the Constantia Flexibles Group, though it will continue to leverage its specialized production facilities to serve its established customer base under the new unified growth trajectory.
Aluflexpack, which reported an EBITDA margin of [members only] in 2023, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of 5x–12x.
