Danish packaging supplier Brødrene Hartmann entered into a binding agreement to acquire South American Sanovo Greenpack for DKK300m (approx. €40m).
Sanovo Greenpack is South America's leading producer of moulded-fibre egg and fruit packaging with around 600 employees and four facilities in Brazil and Argentina. In 2014, Sanovo Greenpack is expected to generate sales revenues of around DKK400m (approx. €54m).
With this acquisition, Hartmann is entering the attractive growth market in South America.

The company has about 1,500 employees and four manufacturing facilities in Europe, one in Israel and one in Canada.
