AptarGroup, a global leader in drug and consumer product dosing, dispensing and protection technologies, has announced the acquisition of Sommaplast, a specialized provider of oral dosing pharmaceutical packaging solutions based in Brazil. Sommaplast’s portfolio includes closures, droppers, dispensers and dosing cups, supporting a broad range of oral dosing applications.
Gael Touya, President of Aptar Pharma, highlighted the strategic importance of the acquisition, noting that Aptar has been manufacturing in Brazil for more than 25 years. He stated that the integration of Sommaplast will further strengthen Aptar’s footprint in the region and enhance its ability to serve Brazil’s fast-growing oral dosing, over-the-counter and nutraceutical markets. These markets continue to expand rapidly, driven by population growth, a rising middle class and an aging demographic.
Founded over two decades ago, Sommaplast operates from a facility in São Paulo and employs more than 400 people. The company is recognized for its experienced team, strong customer relationships and deep expertise in dosing technologies. With this acquisition, Aptar is building on its more than 80-year history of innovation and excellence. Aptar already operates manufacturing facilities in Cajamar, Jundiaí, Maringá and Camaçari, and the addition of Sommaplast further expands its presence in Latin America while bringing complementary manufacturing strengths.
Touya emphasized that Aptar plans to expand Sommaplast’s offerings in the oral dosing pharma sector by leveraging its commercial capabilities and broad product range. He added that the combined operational synergies and shared expertise in precision injection molding will deliver significant value to customers. Aptar intends to preserve the strong culture and heritage of Sommaplast’s family-owned business while integrating it into its global network of solutions, services and product experts.
