Greif
Acquisition of Ken Rooms (Hull) Ltd
Greif UK is a subsidiary of Greif Inc. a $3.6bn US global provider of industrial packaging and storage solutions in various materials for a wide range of industries.
The UK company deals predominantly in steel packaging, mostly drums and pails, which are manufactured in Ellesmere Port and Burton-on-Trent.
Re-conditioning is an important element of Greif’s business. At the time its re-conditioning services were provided through a subsidiary company that had a UK facility in the South West.
The proposed acquisition was a key part of Greif’s strategy to become the market leader in re-conditioned drums and IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) in the UK.
