Pemara Labels Group acquired by Constantia Flexibles

Constantia Flexibles Group has acquired the Australian company Pemara Labels Group for an undisclosed sum.

Melbourne-based Pemara was founded in 1966 and produces self-adhesive labels (pressure-sensitive labels), in-mould labels, Fix-a-Form leaflet labels and digital print solutions. Pemara supplies to national and multinational companies from the FMCG, pharmaceutical and food and beverage sectors across the Asia-Pacific region.

Privately owned Pemara currently employs more than 300 employees across four plants in Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia, with sales offices in Sydney and Manila.

“We are particularly pleased that the staff and management are continuing with the business to become part of this global packaging group. We see a stronger future,  considering the many synergies we will realise with Constantia Flexibles’ Labels division,” said Andrew McNamara, group managing director of Pemara.

Constantia Flexibles Labels Division is the world’s fourth largest label manufacturer, supplying the food, beverage and personal care industries. It operates 19 production facilities on four continents and has over 2000 employees.

Pemara is Constantia Flexibles’ second acquisition in 2015, following the acquisition of Afripack in South Africa.
