For the buyer, seller and target.

“On July 29, 2026, Gerresheimer had entered into definitive agreements with a subsidiary of funds advised by Apax Partners LLP (“Apax Funds”) regarding the sale of Centor US Holding Inc., USA, as well as Gerresheimer’s global Primary Packaging Plastics (PPP) business.”

What happened

Gerresheimer finished selling its U.S. unit Centor to funds advised by Apax Partners on October 1, 2026, about two months after the two sides signed in July. Gerresheimer said it will put the cash toward paying down debt. [01]

The July agreement also covers Gerresheimer's global plastics packaging business, which is expected to close in the first half of 2027. The two units together carry an enterprise value of about EUR 1.5 billion, and Gerresheimer says Centor is roughly half of that. [01]
