North Wales packaging firm Excelsior Technologies has bought printing company Omni Flexibles in Salford with the aim of "significantly" increasing its turnover in the next 12 months.
The producer of packaging for brands such as Birds Eye and SC Johnson has 205 existing staff at premises in Flint, Nelson and Leeds.
It specialises in microwave steam cooking packaging, laminates and bags for multinationals and blue-chip companies.
Omni Flexibles, which changed its name from Brand Packaging in May, has 60 "very good people" in Salford and made a pre-tax profit of £161,475 for the year ended 30 April 2007. It prints flexible packaging for brands such as Haribo and Persil.
Excelsior Technologies managing director Dave Moorcroft said the addition of Omni Flexibles would take the combined group turnover to £40m.
"The plan is for Omni Flexibles to continue trading from its Salford premises and increase volume during the course of 2008," he said.
Moorcroft said the acquisition would make Excelsior the "largest independent flexible packaging producer in the UK".
The aim now is to leverage Omni Flexibles' technology to improve and increase the range of products offered, he added.
