The takeover of Sidac enables the Schur Flexibles Group to expand its network on the Italian market by adding a strong centre of excellence for customised and high-quality packaging solutions. With its commitment to sustainability the modern production plant in Forli near Bologna also complements the growth strategy of Schur Flexibles Group in Europe.<\/p>\n
With annual revenue of approx. 34 M\u20ac last year and a workforce of 120 employees, Sidac manufactured flexible packaging since 1929, particularly in the food, beverage, confectionery and animal feed segments. The product portfolio primarily encompasses complex laminates supplied on reels and used in the ready-to-eat convenience food and pet food segment (stand-up pouches). <\/p>\n
Thanks to its high-performance facility for solvent recovery, Sidac also pursues the sustainable approach for a circular economy, which is the hallmark of Schur Flexibles. With its modern machinery park, today Sidac ranks among the leading players in Italy in alongside an attractive and steadily growing customer base from different industrial segments. In this way, Sidac complements the centre of excellence concept of Schur Flexibles Group, which develops and produces flexible packaging innovations in a completely integrated value chain at 22 production facilities located in eleven European countries. The integration in the Schur Flexibles Group also paves the way for Sidac to gain access to the entire European market. <\/p>\n
\u201cItaly is a significant growth market for us as a European player. Due to the acquisition of Sidac, we have gained an established partner for our regional expansion in Italy. In this case we can perfectly complement our competencies in the field of flexible packaging solutions in the food industry,\u201d explains Michael Schernthaner, CEO of Schur Flexibles.<\/p>\n
