Acquisition strengthens company’s position in the high-end spirits segment and French wine market

MILAN (October 3rd, 2022) – Berlin Packaging, the world’s largest Hybrid Packaging Supplier®, announced today the acquisition of DiscoGlass, a leading supplier in the high-end spirits industry with a strong reputation in Cognac. The acquisition improves Berlin Packaging’s position for European premium spirits and wine.

I believe Berlin Packaging’s hybrid supplier model and commitment to customer satisfaction is a great fit for us,” said Emmanuel Ring, CEO of DiscoGlass. “Targeted acquisitions such as DiscoGlass are a key component of our European growth strategy. I’m thrilled to welcome DiscoGlass to Berlin Packaging and look forward to everything we will achieve together,” said Bill Hayes, Global CEO and President of Berlin Packaging.
