Zeus Group has announced the acquisitions of Empire Tapes, a UK-based manufacturer of specialist adhesive tapes, and Rio Tinto Pl\u00e1sticos, a Spanish distributor and manufacturer of packaging products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These strategic moves are part of Zeus\u2019 continued growth trajectory across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empire Tapes brings more than 20 years of expertise in high-performance adhesive technologies, serving industrial clients across the UK and globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The acquisition should bolster Zeus\u2019 industrial packaging capabilities and expands its specialist offering in technical adhesives such as double-sided, masking, and barrier tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The acquisition of Rio Tinto Pl\u00e1sticos further consolidates Zeus\u2019 position in the Iberian Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Headquartered in Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Spain, and operating under the Rio Tinto Eco-Solutions brand, the company is known for its single-use packaging solutions for the vending, hospitality, and catering sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This deal builds on a long-standing commercial relationship between the two companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Empire Tapes enhances Zeus\u2019 industrial adhesive capability, and Rio Tinto has a focus on biodegradable and compostable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gerardo Paredes, general director, Rio Tinto Pl\u00e1sticos, will remain in post and take on a leadership role in Zeus\u2019 Food Packaging Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both acquisitions unlock operational synergies and commercial opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
