Sabert acquires Colpac

Sabert Corporation Europe has recently completed the acquisition of Colpac Limited. The acquisition was formalised on 31 July 2025.

The acquisition represents a strategic milestone for Sabert, enhancing its presence in the UK, Irish and European markets, reinforcing its global paperboard offering across its channels of operation. Colpac’s proven capabilities in design, manufacturing and customer partnerships are a natural fit for the Group.

The combined business will offer an expanded product portfolio across our channels of operation, with strengthened design, agility, enhanced UK-based manufacturing capabilities and a stronger platform for sustainable innovation.

“Today marks an important milestone in our ongoing investment in the UK and our focus on expanding our diverse product portfolio of innovative, sustainable solutions,” says Paul McCann, Chief Executive Officer, Sabert Corporation. “Both companies believe that a culture of sustainability, quality and high service levels is the foundation of building lasting relationships with our customers. Now, as one team, we can accelerate our efforts even further to develop and deliver sustainable, innovative solutions as our customers’ trusted food packaging provider.”

“Colpac’s team, heritage, and specialist paperboard expertise are a perfect complement to Sabert’s portfolio. Together, we are better equipped to serve customers with a broad, innovative, and sustainable range of food packaging solutions,” says Andrew Grimbaldeston, Managing Director, Colpac.
