Colep has acquired the facility from Aerosoles y Liquidos and will now continue to manufacture the same type of packaging products under the trading name Colep S.A. de C.V.

Strategically, Colep says that the acquisition gives it a footing in the personal care contract packaging manufacturing business in both Central and North America.

Serving blue chip and international customer base

The company added that the facility will serve both its existing blue chip customer base, as well as what is expected to be a growing list of important multifunctional, regional and local brand owners.

The facility builds on Colep’s portfolio of ten contract manufacturing plants situated throughout Europe and Brazil, where the company produces a wide variety of aerosol, cream and liquid personal care and cosmetic products.

The plan is to further invest in the facility, to increase production and further raise manufacturing standards, with the ultimate aim of bringing it in line with international production standards.
