Grenadier Packaging acquires MM Packaging Leeuwarden

On 31 December, Grenadier Packaging (UK) completed the acquisition of MM Packaging Leeuwarden (Netherlands), owned by Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG (“MM”), which has 52 employees.

MM Packaging Leeuwarden is a long-established operation with a strong reputation for quality folding carton production and long-standing customer relationships across the Dutch and broader European market.

MM Packaging Leeuwarden employs 52 people.

The acquisition builds on Grenadier Packaging’s proven M&A track record, with six acquisitions completed to date and a continued focus on pursuing further strategic opportunities.

The Leeuwarden site will remain focused on its current product portfolio and customer base, with no immediate changes planned to day-to-day operations, management structure, or supplier relationships.
