With effect from 01.12.2019, Carpentier Packaging, in which Kai Capital has held a majority stake since 2011, has acquired the business operations of CC Maschinenbau GmbH, Schornsheim. Christian Carpentier, shareholder-managing director of the company and son of the founder of Carpentier Packaging, Bernhard Carpentier, will be appointed as an additional managing director of Carpentier Packaging in this context.

CC Maschinenbau's core business is mechanical parts manufacturing and the design of assemblies and parts on behalf of customers. Carpentier Packaging was previously a major customer of CC Maschinenbau.

About Carpentier Packaging

Carpentier Packaging (www.carpentier-packaging.de) is managed by the shareholder-manager and founder Bernhard Carpentier and - in future - his son Christian Carpentier. As a result of the acquisition, there will be a second production site in Schornsheim, a few kilometres away, in addition to the headquarters in Wörrstadt, where mechanical production will be concentrated. Due to a lack of space, a new building for assembly is planned for 2020 in Schornsheim next to the now acquired mechanical production.
Carpentier Packaging, founded in 1996, manufactures erectors, cartoners and special machines for various industries, with the food sector being the largest customer segment.
