Clondalkin Group, the international producer of flexible and specialist packaging products with over 40 production locations throughout Europe and the United States of America, has acquired Keller Crescent, the independently owned producer of folding cartons, labels, inserts, outserts and other packaging components servicing the North American pharmaceutical and healthcare markets.

Keller Crescent is headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, and operates three main production plants in Evansville and Indianapolis, Indiana, and in Charlotte, North.

This is a great strategic fit that creates a real packaging powerhouse to serve the pharmaceutical/healthcare packaging markets. Our geographic reach and production capacity has dramatically increased as a result of joining the Clondalkin Group.’

Norbert McDermott, the Clondalkin Group CEO, said: ‘We are delighted to complete the Keller Crescent acquisition. Keller Crescent is deservedly the strongest independent brand name in the pharmaceutical market in North America and is synonymous with top quality service and supply of packaging components to the pharmaceutical markets.’
