A Family Business Thriving for Over 40 Years
Founded in 1981, SGT specializes in the production of PET preforms and has built a solid reputation in the food and beverage sector. Since its inception, the company has continually diversified and innovated to meet the ever-evolving needs of its clients. In 2019, SGT took a major step forward by launching SGR, a PET recycling facility that produces premium-quality rPET under the brand name CIRPET ®. This initiative ensures a reliable and consistent supply of sustainable raw materials for its customers. In 2023, SGT Group achieved a turnover exceeding €300 million. With a portfolio of nearly 400 clients across Europe and Africa, the group also operates four production sites in Algeria, focusing on PET preforms and HDPE caps. Now, at the start of 2025, SGT continues its strategic expansion with the acquisition of Axium Packaging.
A Strategic Acquisition Aligned with an Ambitious Vision
Founded in 1968 in Saint-Étienne, Axium Packaging has established itself as a leading expert in the injection and blow molding of bottles, jars, and caps. With six entities and 385 employees, the company achieved a turnover of €76 million in 2024. Axium serves primarily the food and beverage sectors, as well as the health, hygiene, beauty, and household products markets.
With production facilities in France, the Czech Republic, Italy, and Germany, this acquisition provides SGT Group with enhanced industrial capabilities and a broader technological offering, all while maintaining a shared commitment to eco-responsibility.
“This acquisition is perfectly in line with our growth strategy. By joining forces with Axium Packaging, we are enhancing our ability to offer innovative and sustainable packaging solutions that meet the current and future needs of our clients,” says Frédéric Mignot, President of SGT Group.
