The Budenheim-based closure manufacturer took over family-owned MALA Verschluss-Systeme GmbH with headquarters in Bad Liebenstein around three years ago, thereby complementing its product range with aluminum closures for spirits, wine, non-alcoholic beverages and cooking oil. Thanks to the acquisition BERICAP was able to close a strategic gap, enabling the manufacturer of closures for the food, beverage and chemical industries to extend its product portfolio with the aluminum roll-on caps that are widely used in the wine and spirits market.
Thuringia-based aluminum closure specialist MALA has been rebranded some three years after the acquisition by BERICAP. MALA Verschluss-Systeme GmbH is now BERICAP Aluminium GmbH. The new name clarifies the company’s affiliation and integration with the BERICAP Group, a leading global manufacturer of plastic and aluminum closures.
BERICAP now has a single source supplier configuration covering all customer requirements – from simple roll-on pilfer proof (ROPP) aluminum closures to highly complex safety closures. It can also cater to customer-specific needs and preferences with greater precision, including numerous decoration and design options – some incorporating in-house pad printing, side offset printing and hot foil embossing technology.
“For us, the rebrand was the logical step to take after a successful integration and both partners benefit in equal measure: BERICAP from a product portfolio extension and MALA from access to international markets,” commented Bernd Steiner, Sales & Marketing Director at BERICAP Aluminium GmbH. BERICAP today has more than 4,000 employees at 29 production sites around the world developing customer-specific solutions and innovative closure technologies on a daily basis.
