The Ardagh Group today said it had bought US-based Leone Industries from the Leone family.
The company said the deal will increase the size of Ardagh’s glass division by approximately 10%.
Leone Industries was founded in 1966 and is a technologically advanced manufacturer of glass containers serving the US food and beverage markets.
It produces over 500 million containers a year from its site in Bridgeton, New Jersey.
Ardagh's chief executive Niall Wall said the acquisition will assist the company to expand our US activities into the glass container market. ''It is an important step in developing our international glass franchise and will add scale and value to our business," he added.
