Berry Acquires F&S Tool Inc., Expands Full Plastic Packaging Lifecycle Solutions for Customers

Berry Global Group, Inc. (NYSE: BERY) announces its acquisition of F&S Tool, a specialized provider of high output, high-efficiency hot runner injection and high-volume compression molding applications. F&S Tool operates a 90,000 square foot facility located in Erie, Pennsylvania, with 11 issued/pending patents and 105 dedicated employees focused on disruptive technologies to serve a broad spectrum of plastics manufacturers. This acquisition will further enhance Berry’s global tooling capability as well as bring proprietary technologies in the closures and bottles space, specifically targeting high-end growth markets.

The unique ability to couple one of the largest available selections of tooling with regionally-based knowledge offers customers ordering product through Berry Global a competitive advantage by providing faster turnaround from start to finish and greater assurance that the molds will fit the production lines Berry works on every day.

“The integration of F&S Tool’s talented teams and market-leading innovation capabilities combined with Berry’s global operations reinforces the company’s commitment to providing customers across the globe with access to its industry-leading range of products in core markets while offering the benefits of local service and speed. We are excited to welcome the legacy F&S Tool team to Berry and begin sharing best practices from the two companies,” said Kevin Kwilinski, Chief Executive Officer of Berry Global.

As a global leader in sustainable plastic packaging, Berry Global Tooling Services delivers a comprehensive source of expertise while maintaining regional insights and local support services from across its now more than 11 global tooling manufacturing locations. As a result, Berry’s current and future customers will have unique access to a full suite of tooling capabilities, including injection, blow, compression, and thermo-forming molds that can be integrated into their existing product orders.

The acquisition was completed on April 05, 2024.
