Stratus Packaging Continues Its Growth with the Integration of Freppel Imprimeur

Step by step, the Stratus Packaging Group is positioning itself as one of the most dynamic European players in the label market, thanks to its innovative, sustainable packaging solutions tailored to market needs, as well as the relevance of its development strategy. The latest acquisition of the Stratus Packaging Group, Freppel Imprimeur, based in Colmar since 1968, enables the Group to reach a new milestone in its growth. This integration is fully aligned with a controlled development strategy aimed at strengthening customer proximity, geographical coverage, and industrial synergies. Thanks to this operation, the Stratus Packaging Group now exceeds €100 million in turnover and brings together more than 520 employees.

Controlled Growth Driven by a Strong Strategic Vision

“Since the creation of the Stratus Packaging Group, our ambition has been to develop both organically and through external growth, while respecting the fundamental principles that still guide us today: packaging solutions adapted to each client and each challenge, a strong sense of belonging, overall performance, and continuous improvement of our employees,” says Isidore Leiser, CEO of the Group.
The geographical location of Freppel Imprimeur offers the Stratus Packaging Group new development opportunities in Alsace, eastern France, and Germany. Thanks to the expertise of its teams, its product range, and its technical specificities, Freppel Imprimeur also helps strengthen and expand our expertise in:

  • Self-adhesive, dry, and wrap-around labels
  • Commercial printing and advertising publishing (catalogues, brochures)
  • Hot foil stamping
  • Embossing
  • Varnishing
  • Graphic skills with an integrated prepress department and creative studio.

This integration strengthens our complementarity

 

“This integration strengthens our complementarity in the wine, spirits, and luxury markets, where conventional and digital technologies fully express their potential.”
“This merger quickly proved to be an obvious choice, as Freppel Imprimeur and the Stratus Packaging Group share common values: family- owned businesses, the same spirit of innovation and investment, commitment, customer service, and team complementarity. Our employees are
joining a Group that places human values at the heart of its development project. The Group also relies on a controlled growth strategy, offering a strong and reassuring vision of the future for our respective clients,”states Denis Maciuk, Managing Director of Freppel Imprimeur.

A sustainable growth strategy based on innovation and people

This new milestone marks an ambitious growth dynamic for the Stratus Packaging Group. With its nine production sites and an increasingly comprehensive range of packaging solutions, the Group continues its development by relying on the women and men who make it up.
“Strengthening our synergies and staying as close as possible to our customers’ expectations: this is the path we are pursuing to continue offering, today and tomorrow, global, high-performance packaging solutions tailored to every need.”
