ST. LOUIS, Jan. 9, 2024 /CNW/ -- Global packaging leader TricorBraun announced today that it has acquired glass packaging provider Glassland. The acquisition grows the German footprint of TricorBraun's premium glass packaging business, Vetroelite, while broadening TricorBraun's European presence.
Glassland serves spirits and other customers in Germany and Switzerland with an expansive catalogue of high-end glass bottle and closure designs.

All Glassland team members will remain with TricorBraun and continue to work out of their Bonn, Germany location. After a transition period, Glassland will fully integrate with Vetroelite.
"TricorBraun has a successful acquisition track record because we partner with strong companies while providing opportunities for team member and business growth," said McCarthy. "This strategic acquisition provides additional growth avenues for Glassland, Vetroelite, our team members, and supplier partners while providing expanded services and local options for customers."
