Tri-Star makes third acquisition of 2007 with MG's sushi arm


Tri-Star Packaging Supplies of Enfield, Middlesex, has taken over the sushi-packaging division of MG Plastics in Chesterfield.

The purchase is the food packaging supplier's third acquisition this year, following earlier deals for Stadium Disposable and Nu-Line Marketing, both based in London.

MG Plastics' owner Malcolm Gill has joined Tri-Star to help the firm develop its sushi-packaging sales.

Tri-Star managing director Kevin Curran said the acquisition would enable the firm to supply for the first time a "comprehensive range of sushi containers" to retailers and the food-to-go sector in APET, HIPS (high-density polystyrene) and PS materials.

"This year's acquisitions and another planned for 2008, together with organic growth, will help us exceed a projected turnover of £20m by the end of 2008," said Curran.

Tri-Star, which employs 108 staff, now supplies everything from sushi and salad containers to serviettes and disposable cutlery.
