Boxon and Jumbotainer join forces in Germany
Boxon GmbH and Jumbotainer Verpackungs GmbH have now amalgamated as a result of the Boxon Group, a Swedish privately owned packaging company, acquiring Jumbotainer in Syke, Germany. By coming together, the joint company has become the strongest local FIBC presence in Germany with a focus on high levels of service and independence for its customers. Following the acquisition, Boxon Group (which includes Boxon Pak, Boxon Mark and Boxon Bulk) will have a turnover of 120 million euros.
Jumbotainer is expected to become a cornerstone in the Boxon Bulk division, focusing on the German market with Jörg Wydra continuing as managing director of the company. Other parts of the business area serve customers in the Nordic countries as well as international key accounts in Europe and in China through its office in Shanghai.
Managing director of Boxon GmbH, and head of Boxon Bulk division, Oliver Grüters stated:“By taking this step we increase our offering and market coverage in Germany with increased possibilities to serve international key accounts as well. However, our focus will remain on our customers and their needs no matter the size of the customer.”
The operations of Jumbotainer will remain in Syke and will be the centre of sales on the German market under the leadership of Jörg Wydra and the current management team. Boxon GmbH operations will remain in Willich, Düsseldorf, with focus on sales to major international customers as well as serving as the head office for the Boxon Bulk division managed by Oliver Grüters. www.boxon.com
