This is the leading global provider in the rigid plastic film industry, with highly complementary capabilities in semi-rigid and flexible films used in packaging and other protective film applications. Its primary end-markets include pharmaceutical, medical devices and food and beverage, as well as applications for other consumer and industrial products.

The company detailed its finances as follows:
For fiscal 2016, net sales were $1,403 million, net loss was $11.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA was $242.9. Excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, net sales decreased by 0.5% and Adjusted EBITDA increased by 5.3%.
