Premier Tech and MG Tech forge alliance for cutting-edge packaging solutions
By Premier Tech
GeneralLes Achards, April 16, 2024 — Premier Tech and MG Tech are pleased to announce a strategic and promising partnership that will shape the future of both companies. Drawing on their respective expertise, they will meet the evolving needs of manufacturers — in the nutrition, industrial, fast-moving consumer-goods and parapharmacy industry — for packaging technologies with high-performance and innovative solutions.
The addition of Premier Tech to MG Tech’s capital will allow the French group to fully leverage the global ecosystem of Premier Tech Systems and Automation and access an extensive network of products, services and technologies to support its growth in the American and international markets.
“With the integration of Premier Tech Systems and Automation to the MG Tech ecosystem, we will expand our footprint and further open ourselves to the world. We have built this partnership with a group sharing the values of MG Tech, with teams close to their customers. The establishment of our subsidiary in Canada confirmed that our end-of-line packaging equipment is perfectly designed for the North American market. We will come up, alongside Premier Tech, with new services and continue our international expansion,” says Eric Gautier, president of the MG Tech group.
“Right from the start, we saw that our companies’ markets and territories complement each other, as well as our human approach. Following extensive discussions, we have agreed to collaborate closely over the coming years. The addition of Premier Tech to MG Tech’s capital underscores a shared commitment to an ambitious, long-term vision and development plan. I am very pleased that our discussions have led to this partnership,” says Xavier Lucas, general manager of the MG Tech group.
It will also allow Premier Tech to expand its technological platform portfolio as well as its North American and global offer, while strengthening its European footprint.
“With this strategic partnership, our group Premier Tech Systems and Automation lays strong foundations for its expansion in France. It gives us access to leading-edge technologies, strengthening our position as global leader,” says Jean Bélanger, president and chief executive officer of Premier Tech.
“This partnership opens the door to the global expansion of our secondary packaging operations, previously centred in North America. It sets the development of market segments with a broader range of products such as leading-edge case erectors and robotic case packers. Joining forces allows us to harness complementary strategic skills, delivering more value to our clients,” says Simon Roy, president and chief operating officer of Premier Tech Systems and Automation.
