NEW ACQUISITION OPENS
GEOGRAPHIC FOOTPRINT IN NZ
Viscofan SA has
announced the acquisition
of Globus Group New
Zealand Ltd – its distributor
of Viscofan products in
this country for 10 years –
as it looks to new growth
opportunities.
Viscofan chairman Jose
FT276
Domingo de Ampuero says
Globus Group’s acquisition
not only offers a complementary
geographic footprint in a new
continent for his company, but also
provides Globus’ excellent personnel
and their market knowledge.
“Combined with the strong
commercial portfolio of Viscofan, the
acquisition will enable us to provide
our customers with better service and
new solutions in those markets,” he
says.
Globus Group was established in
Australia in 1949, and has a long
track record as distributor of casings,
films and bags, among other flexible
packaging products, and of packaging
equipment for the food industry.
For New Zealand users of casing
product, the acquisition means
Viscofan is now represented in
Oceania as a subsidiary. This
opens significant technical, product
development, supply chain and
financial resources to the local market.
Viscofan is a leader in the manufacture
and supply of collagen casing, fibrous
and cellulose casings globally. In
addition, the product range also
includes plastic casings, shrink bags
and Nanopack Interleaver Multilayer
plastic films.
Highlights of the product range
include:
• Viscofan cellulose casings which
combine high elasticity with an
extremely consistent calibre.
• Viscofan Collagen casings are used
in the manufacture of processed,
fresh, pre-cooked fried sausages or
dry-cured snacks. Viscofan’s variety
of tailor-made product finishes
ensures the best processing on all
machines. Ready-to-stuff casings
ensure faster and cleaner production
processes.
• Viscofan fibrous casings give your
finished product a natural look, and
their uniform calibre and excellent
‘peel-ability’ are second to none.
