Germany-based Thyssen’sche Handelsgesellschaft m.b.H (THG) has acquired a controlling interest in Anomatic, which had been held by private equity firm Brookstone Partners, in a deal that will expand capabilities.
THG owns a wide range of production and trading businesses throughout the world, including a 100% stake in Thomas Group, another company serving the cosmetics and personal care industry. Managing Director of THG, Juergen Heite, said both companies offer complementary products and services, and customers will benefit from THG’s strategic investment in Anomatic, which specializes in color anodizing of packaging for beauty, personal care and spirits brands. Anomatic also provides laser engraving, embossing and screen-printing.
