Baumgartner focuses on packaging business

The Vaud-based Baumgartner Holding Group, which processes Elco paper and manufactures packaging with Compagnie Franco Suisse (CFS), intends to develop strongly in the area of flexible packaging.

The Vaud-based Baumgartner Holding Group, which processes Elco paper and manufactures packaging with Compagnie Franco Suisse (CFS), intends to develop strongly in the flexible packaging sector. The Crissier-based group plans to acquire several sector-specific and complementary European companies. The Baumgartner Group's aim is to achieve annual sales of around CHF 150 million in five years through internal and external growth. To this end, it is looking for established partner companies in Western Europe that generate annual sales of over CHF 15 million and show regular profitability. 
The Vaud-based group Baumgartner Papiers Holding withdrew from its former core business, the paper business, in 2004 and merged these activities with the Portuguese company Inapa. Baumgartner still owns 32.5 percent of the Swiss Inapa subsidiary. The packaging segment, which has been in the black for several years, thus became the driving force behind the Vaud-based group.
