US-based private equity firm BPOC has made a strategic growth investment in consulting service provider Networking Packaging Group.
Also known as Network Partners, Networking Packaging provides consulting services related to packaging engineering, project management, regulatory affairs, labelling and quality assurance.
The company has more than 250 employees across the US and serves major medical devices and pharmaceutical companies worldwide.
BPOC partner Pete Magas said: “As medical device and pharmaceutical markets become more complex, companies are increasingly looking to external resources to provide the expertise and specialised knowledge needed to navigate these complexities.
“We have been extremely impressed with Network Partners’ team and the success they have achieved to date. We look forward to supporting the company’s growth strategies and long-term vision through this strong partnership.”
Networking Packaging will use BPOC’s investment to expand its geographic presence and add to its range of services.
