Van Genechten Packaging has acquired 70% of Schoepe Display, the German producers of Display & Promotion Packaging.
In addition to combining sales and design capabilities to offer an expanded product and service portfolio – including co-packing and fulfillment – plans are underway to establish a VGP Design & Innovation Center at the Berlin premises in 2025.
This initiative represents another step forward for Van Genechten Packaging in expanding its footprint in Premium and Promotional packaging, while also adding new co-packing capabilities and fulfillment services for brand owners across Europe.
Frank Ohle, CEO, Van Genechten Packaging, commented, “Over the past two years, our collaboration with Schoepe Display has consistently resulted in creative and innovative solutions for our customers. By acquiring 70% of the shares and merging our market expertise – including the establishment of a Design and Innovation Center – we are not only reinforcing our shared commitment to excellence but also providing brand owners a space where creativity and technology converge to shape the next generation of packaging and display solutions.”
This partnership, as a ‘one face to the customer’ approach, will serve as a dedicated organisation for promo packs and display solutions, combining Van Genechten Packaging’s expertise in folding carton packaging with Schoepe Display’s proficiency in POS display production.
Andreas Grathwohl, Managing Partner, Schoepe Display (and owner of the remaining 30% of shares), added, “The Schoepe team is excited to join the Van Genechten Packaging Group. This partnership is more than just a platform for design and development; it’s a place where ideas will be transformed into practical, sustainable, and impactful packaging and displays that truly connect with consumers. Together, we are setting new standards for speed, efficiency, and innovation in the packaging industry.”
