Cedo Acquires Plasta Group

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Following its acquisition last summer of Vinatic, one of the leading flexible plastic recyclers in Vietnam, Cedo, a leader in sustainable FMCG private label solutions, is proud to announce another milestone in its strategic journey with the acquisition of Plasta Group, one of Europe’s largest polyethylene recyclers, producers, and suppliers of sustainable plastic products.

Plasta Group, headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, operates modern manufacturing plants located in Lithuania and Sweden, employs more than 500 skilled professionals, and has an impressive legacy of 60 years in the industry.

This acquisition positions Cedo as the largest integrated circularity platform for flexible plastic films servicing Europe, enhancing its leadership in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Scandinavia. The combined organization has an annual capacity to recycle more than 200,000 tons of plastic waste from which to produce plastic bags made with recycled contents, as well other film-based products. Going forward Cedo will be able to offer an expanded range of innovative, sustainable solutions to meet the growing demand for circularity in flexible plastics.
