Highlander-backed Akomex bolts on Plano Pack

The investment comes eight years after the US- and CEE-focused GP acquired its portfolio company Akomex, which is headquartered in Starogard Gdański in north-western Poland.

The company manufactures and supplies packaging products made of corrugated and solid fibreboard for industries including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemistry and electronics.

Previous funding

Company
Established in 1998 and headquartered in Herning, Denmark, Plano Pack produces laminated cardboard for both food and non-food industries.
