Antalis has acquired Speidel GmbH for an undisclosed amount. The transaction brings the German packaging manufacturer under the ownership of the international paper and packaging distribution group, marking the completion of a deal that expands Antalis’s footprint in the industrial packaging sector.
Speidel GmbH, based in Germany, specializes in custom-made packaging solutions, with a focus on corrugated and heavy-duty corrugated board combined with wood and foam materials. For 35 years, the company has built its reputation on close customer collaboration and technical consulting, producing tailored packaging for a range of industrial applications. Antalis, a major distributor of paper, packaging, and visual communication solutions across Europe, will integrate Speidel’s production capabilities into its existing packaging division.
The acquisition is strategic for Antalis as it adds in-house manufacturing capacity for complex, engineered packaging, a segment that complements its current distribution-led model. By owning Speidel’s production expertise, Antalis can offer clients more specialized protective packaging solutions, particularly for heavy or sensitive goods that require robust transit protection. For Speidel, joining Antalis provides access to a broader customer base and a larger sales network, which could accelerate growth beyond its current regional reach.
The deal is expected to strengthen Antalis’s position in the industrial packaging market, where demand for customized, durable packaging continues to rise. The combined entity will leverage Speidel’s technical know-how alongside Antalis’s logistics and distribution infrastructure to serve existing and new clients more effectively. No further financial details of the transaction have been disclosed, and the integration process is set to begin in the coming months.
