Gessel has advised Highlander Partners -- working through its AKOMEX portfolio company -- on the purchase of DRUK-PAK, a cardboard packaging producer listed on Warsaw’s NewConnect exchange.
AKOMEX, established in Gdansk in 1993, is itself a producer of solid and corrugated cardboard packaging, mainly for the foodstuffs and cosmetics industries, and was included in the Highlander Partners portfolio of companies in 2010. The combination of the two companies resulting from this transaction will be one of Poland’s largest producers of consumer packaging.
The Gessel team working on the transaction was led by Partner Marcin Macieszczak and Managing Associate Monika Woloszka.
