The B&C Group holds majority stakes in AMAG Austria Metall AG, Lenzing AG and Semperit AG Holding and takes a long-term strategic perspective with regard to these core investments. B&C aims to ensure that the research centres and headquarters of these companies remain in Austria permanently. This clearly distinguishes the B&C Group from other investors pursuing short-term investment policies with a scheduled exit. B&C actively supports the long-term investments  and major projects of its core investments, particularly those designed to promote expansion into global markets. It sees sustainability as a decisive factor for maintaining and increasing the value of its core investments and in addressing major ecological and societal challenges. By taking this approach, the B&C Group is able to make a substantial and wide ranging contribution to the stability and performance of its core investments and, in turn, promoting Austria as a business location.

B&C acquires Schur Flexibles Holding - nicht sichtbar

One of Europe’s leading packaging specialists now with Austrian owner B&C

This also ensures that the company headquarters will stay in Austria.
