"The acquisition of Makplast is another logical step in our buy and build strategy," explains Christoph Petri, CEO of Ringmetall SE. "With Makplast, we are gaining an excellently positioned liner specialist and at the same time strengthening our market position in Turkey, a strategically important growth market for us at the crossroads between Europe and Asia. Such acquisitions form the basis for sustainable, high-margin growth."

With around 45 employees, Makplast Makine Plastik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S generates revenue in the mid-single-digit million range and an above-average EBITDA margin. The company will be integrated into the Group in the coming months.
