The acquisition reflects Boxon’s strategy in increasing its international presence to support growth across key markets.
Last month, Boxon introduced locally sourced industrial packaging solutions in Morocco, aiming to support customers in enhancing their supply chains through shorter lead times, improved flexibility, and closer collaboration.
Earlier this year, BoxonTech, a subsidiary of Boxon Group, started a new operation in the US. The expansion included local production and warehousing, combined with a sales and customer support office. The move follows BoxonTech’s expansion in Spain, which aims to bring production, warehousing, sales, and local support closer to customers in southern Europe and north Africa.
Meanwhile, Boxon also launched rPET Big Bags made from recycled PET bottles. The bags were designed for food, chemical, and other industrial applications and were introduced across the EMEA market.
