Strengthening the European axis
With this new step, VPK Group further expands its fanfold production network in Europe. In addition to Ribble, VPK produces fanfold in Alizay (France) and at Zetacarton (Italy). This geographic spread enables efficient service to e-commerce and distribution centers, as well as right-size packaging solution customers across Europe.
What is fanfold?
Fanfold is a continuous corrugated board with pre-scored fold lines that can be cut to size. It is increasingly used among others in e-commerce and logistics because it allows packaging to be adapted to different product dimensions, reducing waste and optimizing transport.
Short Description
VPK Group entered into an agreement with the shareholders of Ribble Packaging Ltd, a UK corrugated cardboard company, to increase its equity stake from 30% to 50%, creating a position of joint control. This step follows the minority share acquisition in 2023 and is part of VPK Group’s long-term strategy to strengthen its position in the fanfold market and expand its geographic reach.
