The plant makes plastic containers and closures for food, health care, and petrochemical products. Its customers include several global consumer product marketers, said Graham Packaging.
"The purchase will open a new door for our company," said company CEO Mark Burgess. "China is undeniably a major market and the opportunity to participate in its growth is very exciting for us."
