KM Packaging’s history goes back to 1949. The company as it is known today was formed in 2008 from the merger of Kutterer Kunststofftechnik and Mauer AG, two family companies. The renowned plastics specialist from the south of Germany manufactures standardised products and custom-made closures, caps, dispensing systems and jars made of PP and PE, including in clean rooms if desired. Its products are used mainly in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industries.
KM Packaging is a technical partner that supports packaging developments, reduces material consumption through lightweighting and recycles consistently. Use of up to 100 per cent post-consumer recycled material (PCR) is possible, and screw caps and flip-tops made of HDPE are available for monomaterial packaging applications. With ultra-modern equipment, efficient processes and innovative products, the company has been an established partner for years. ‘The smooth combination of close customer relationships, technological expertise and a focus on sustainability aligns closely with our profile. The added know-how will boost our role as a leading developer, manufacturer and recycler of plastic packaging,’ said Nicolas Lehner, ALPLA Chief Commercial Officer, with firm conviction.
The acquisition was signed off on 23 June 2025 and is subject to and contingent upon receipt of the legal and regulatory approval from the competent competition authorities. The parties agreed not to disclose details of the transaction.
