Two well-established companies in the packaging industry join forces: packaging manufacturers Anton Debatin GmbH and Riba GmbH have founded the Deriba Group GmbH. The newly established joint enterprise will combine the expertise of six highly specialised individual manufacturers.

The companies Anton Debatin and Riba are equal partners of the Deriba Group. The group also integrates Debatin SARL (Hoenheim/France), pfc premium film company GmbH (Hamburg), HVB Hoch-Vakuum-Beschichtungs GmbH (Berlin) and Berec GmbH (Werneuchen/Germany).

Each individual enterprise is an expert in its sector. The newly founded group will coordinate all business activities, including unified marketing operations for the extensive product and service range. It will also increase the transfer of know-how throughout the product development process. The companies will benefit from economies of scale within procurement, a general process optimisation and synergetic effects within logistics as well as from the access to a new group of customers possessing a high purchasing volume.

The Deriba Group assumes a leading role within the European market for flexible packaging. In sum the companies achieve a sales volume of more than EUR 100 m employing over 400 employees. The new group will make its first public appearance at FachPack (Nuremberg, 25 to 27 September 2018, hall 7, stand 618).
