‘The integration of Bopack in Groupe Autajon guarantees the continuity of our projects, creates an unprecedented innovative force and gives access to a wider market and more market segments,’ commented Marc Boehlen, CEO and principal shareholder of Bopack. ‘Our 580 employees can rest assured that this integration offers the best possible chances of future success for their company.’
 
‘We decided to seize this important opportunity,’ explained Grard Autajon, CEO of Groupe Autojon, ‘to complete our product range, to increase our international presence and to build on the similarities and synergies between the two companies in order to become a still better performing partner for our customers, especially in these technically demanding products.’

With this operation concluded, Groupe Autajon now employs nearly 3,000 people in 22 sites in Europe and the US, with a consolidated turnover of close to 400 million euros.
