In a November 1st release, TekniPlex Communications announced the acquisition of Ematec, headquartered in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico.  This company ha been a leading manufacturer of sustainable molded cellulose pulp packaging for over five decades.  Ematec products are used to pack eggs, produce and for food service and other applications.  The company also manufacturers post-consumer recycled PET plastic containers, including egg cartons. Ematec operates six production units in Mexico and is authorized to recycle paper, cardboard and plastic.

The acquisition of Ematec extends the range of TekniPlex egg packaging both in volume and diversity and will contribute to sustainability.
