Tekni-Plex acquires US closures manufacturer BrunaSeals

US packaging company Tekni-Plex has acquired Florida-based BrunaSeals, which makes induction seals and foam closure liners for beverage products, among other applications.

With the acquisition of BrunaSeals, Tekni-Plex said that it would inherit expertise in embossing, printing, foil stamping, die cutting, removal and closure lining capabilities. The company markets its core induction seal and foam closure liners under the ProTecSeals brand.

BrunaSeals’ most recent product innovations include the LuxeSeal and SniffSeal speciality platforms, which provide brand owners with unique sensory and shelf-presence attributes. The company will become part of Tri-Seal, Tekni-Plex’s global closure liners business.

Tri-Seal senior vice-president and general manager David Andrulonis said: “BrunaSeal’s expertise in supporting the Latin American market place, coupled with its innovative product line, will help further expand the global Tri-Seal closure liner business. The combined capabilities create an even stronger liners portfolio from which to service brand owners around the world.”

BrunaSeals president and founder Juan Bruna added: “We couldn’t be happier to become part of a leading global manufacturer who is committed to growing its closure liner and seal business. Our collective customers will benefit significantly from this acquisition.”

BrunaSeals is now the fourth closure liner business Tekni-Plex has acquired in the past four years, after deals for Sancap, Ghiya Extrusions and Tech-Seal.
