Plastek Group, a full-service provider of injection molded parts, complex assemblies and advanced tooling for the rigid packaging sector with a global footprint, has acquired Costapacking, a custom injection molding company based in Pirassununga, Brazil.

Costapacking serves the food and beverage, personal care and home care industries of several Fortune 100 companies.

Co-founder Rodrigo Costa will join Plastek in a business development capacity.

In addition to its headquarters in Erie, PA, Plastek operates manufacturing facilities in Hamlett, NC; Mansfield, UK; Indaiatuba, Brazil; Queretaro, Mexico; and now Pirassununga, Brazil.
