Packaging and contract manufacturing company Colep has acquired the aerosol personal care products contract manufacturing plant of Aerosoles y Liquidos S.A de C.V., in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico.
According to Colep – part of the Portugal-based RAR Group of companies – the move initiates its operations in the Central and North American contract manufacturing markets for personal care products.
“From this manufacturing base, the company will serve its already existing blue chip customer base, as well as other important multinational, regional and local brand owners,” the company says.
The plant, which will trade as Colep S.A de C.V., will be added to Colep’s network of ten contract manufacturing plants in Europe and Brazil, where it manufactures a wide variety of aerosol, liquid and cream products.
The company plans to make additional investments in this plant to increase production capacity and further enhance its manufacturing standards.
The acquisition follows the announcement made by the company on 12 September 2013, of the creation of a global supply network with the One Asia organisation, covering the whole of their respective organisations in Australia, Japan, China, Thailand, India, Poland, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Brazil.
“With this new addition to its manufacturing footprint, Colep moves one step further in developing its strategy of becoming a truly global partner for consumer goods companies, supporting the implementation of their projects on a global basis,” Colep says.
