Van de Velde Packaging is taking an important step towards the future. Thanks to a strengthened capital structure of €130 million, in partnership with Luxembourg-based investment firm and shareholder Kartesia, we now have a solid foundation to further realise our international growth ambitions.

This stronger financial position gives the group additional capacity to invest in its continued development. An additional €15 million has been made available to seize future growth opportunities and expand our production capacity. New installations have already been completed at our facilities in Turkey and Poland, with the new printing press at our Turkish site now fully operational.

Van de Velde Packaging continues to focus on innovative fibre-based packaging solutions with high added value. With 17 sites across 8 countries, more than 1,300 employees and a clear international growth strategy, the group is stronger than ever to support customers around the world.

These growth prospects are further reinforced by clear market developments. New European legislation is accelerating the shift from single-use plastics to more sustainable fibre-based packaging, while independent market analyses forecast an average annual growth rate of 3.5% for our sector in the years ahead. With a strengthened capital structure, targeted investments and a strategic focus on growth, Van de Velde Packaging is well positioned to seize these opportunities.
