“We are excited to join forces with Chesapeake to create a unique platform to fully support the premium drinks market,” comments Erin Willigan, VP marketing, Multi Packaging Solutions.

“Our combined resources, global network, extensive technology portfolio, and team of talented industry professionals offer distinct advantages to customers such as Pernod Ricard, Diageo, Bacardi, Groupo Campari, Beam, Brown Forman and Sydney Frank looking for superior print and packaging.”

The group’s combined capabilities for decorated rigid packaging for global gifting are also impressive.  MPS has been a leader in special packaging with decades of experience in designing, developing and producing deluxe, commemorative and collectable editions for the music and home entertainment markets. 

Over the years, the MPS team has tackled virtually every packaging challenge imaginable.  Its extensive supply partner network covers a range of materials, including chipboard, metal, glass, plastic, wood, and various specialtystocks. Chesapeake’s rigid packaging facility in Poland further complements this approach in mainland Europe.

“With the merger complete, we are now much more versatile in terms of capabilities to support our customers in Europe, Asia, and the US,” comments James Clark, global sales director – drinks. “Our product range is comprehensive and now includes cartons, tubes, labels, rigid packaging, VAPs, marketing collateral and POP.”
