Ringmetall strengthens U.S. liner business by acquiring thermoforming business from New England Plastics

Munich – The Management Board of Ringmetall SE (ISIN: DE000A3E5E55), a leading international specialist supplier of industrial packaging, has reached an agreement on the acquisition of the Thermoforming Division of New England Plastics Corp., headquartered in New Bedford, Massachusetts (USA). The transaction will take place by way of an asset deal.

The acquired unit is an established supplier of rigid and form liners, tote liners and other thermoforming products for industrial packaging solutions. With 41 employees being fully retained, revenues in the high single-digit million (USD) range will be generated.

With this acquisition, Ringmetall is specifically strengthening its positioning in the liner business in the USA. The acquisition is an excellent addition to the existing liner production in New York. It broadens the product portfolio and creates growth potential for the coming years.

The EBITDA margin of the acquired unit is within the usual range for the Liner business. The acquisition will be financed by own funds and free agreed credit lines. The parties have agreed not to disclose the purchase price.

"With the acquisition of the thermoforming division of New England Plastics, we are consistently pursuing our buy and build strategy," explains Christoph Petri, Co-CEO of Ringmetall SE. "After the successful acquisition of Makplast last month, this is already the second acquisition this year. It underlines not only the attractiveness of the Ringmetall Group as a partner, but also our positioning as a serial acquirer. We also see further attractive acquisition opportunities in the further course of 2026, especially in the liner business."

The integration of the acquired business unit into the Ringmetall Group will take place in the near future.
