Wifag-Polytype Holding – which owns press makers Wifag and Solna – has expanded its packaging interests with the acquisition of OMV Machinery of Italy.
The Swiss group has taken over Verona-based OMV shares with all its intellectual properties, products, assets, brand/logos and employees from ISAP Packaging.
Founded in 1963, OMV makes high output, high quality thermoforming equipment for plastic containers, as well as other shaped products. It has a team of about 45 employees.
The acquisition expands Polytype’s technology portfolio, with thermoforming complementing its own decoration, offset printing, new Polyflex printing and inkjet printing solutions. ISAP Packaging makes thermoformed cups, plates, lids and other disposable products for food packaging and consumer markets in Europe.
