Cork-based Zeus Packaging has bought a Spanish owned company that works with several global giants – it’s the latest development in its major international expansion and is set to dramatically boost its revenue.<\/p>\n

Koex Packaging Solutions’ client list including brands like Reebok, Burger King and Pull & Bear will join companies like McDonald’s and Lush in Zeus’ impressive array of international clients.<\/p>\n

The company originally started operating in Fermoy back in 1998 – and in the last three years has acquired a total of six other companies and is generating annual revenue of \u20ac500m.<\/p>\n

Zeus expects its latest move to see that figure jump by 20% to \u20ac600m, according to The Irish Times.<\/p>\n

Founder and owner Brian O’Sullivan told the newspaper: “This is about legacy. Creating a business that has a future that\u2019s sustainable and can grow, and clearly I need to develop a culture within our own businesses and the businesses we acquire.<\/p>\n

“Koex brings strong capabilities in luxury and retail packaging, and when combined with our existing network, we now offer full production, sourcing, design and engineering capabilities at scale.<\/p>\n

“Our job will be to take what they\u2019ve built over the past 20 to 25 years and use the power of Zeus to drive it on forward.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They’ll turnover \u20ac600m this year – and it all started in Fermoy Pictured Brian O’Sullivan, Founder of Zeus.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,97714,61,60],"class_list":["post-298542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-fermoy","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
