Esterform Packaging has acquired the business of Constar UK based at Sherburn-in Elmet near York. The acquisition of Constar(for an undisclosed fee) goes alongside Esterform's announcement three weeks ago of its £8m investment in state of the art manufacturing technology. Esterform manufactures 1.5 billion PET preforms and containers from its two sites in Tenbury Wells and Leeds. This acquisition will take the group's overall capability to in excess of 3 billion units. The company's founder Mark Tyne said: "The two companies manufacture very similar products with a good deal of duplicate tooling, so it makes perfect sense to merge Constar into the Esterform group".
