Warburg Pincus-backed Parksons Packaging, a leading folding carton packaging company in India, has completed the acquisition of Fortuner Packaging’s business by way of a slump sale. Fortuner Packaging which was founded in 2012, manufactures folding cartons primarily catering to pharmaceutical, home and personal care, and automobile customers through its two manufacturing plants in Baddi and Himachal Pradesh.
The acquisition of Fortuner Packaging will fortify Parksons Packaging’s leadership position in the folding cartons market in India.
