2015 to 2023
Commitment to Growth through Innovation and Acquisitions
In 2015, Rieke launched a new Global Innovation Center just outside of New Delhi, India, to coordinate with engineering and testing capability in Auburn, Indiana, and Leicester, United Kingdom. In 2017, Rieke launched a new state-of-the-art facility in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, moving production from a smaller facility in Mexico City. In 2018, through a partnership with Amazon, Rieke developed its first e-commerce sprayer pump, which ultimately led to the launch of a new line of e-commerce dispensers.
In 2019, the company acquired Plastic Srl, a manufacturer of single and multi-body caps and closures which allowed the business to enter the home care end market. Later that year, the company acquired Taplast S.p.A, a designer and manufacturer of dispensers, closures and containers for the beauty & personal care and food end markets. In 2020, the company acquired Rapak®, a designer and manufacturer of flexible bag-in-box product lines and related filling equipment used primarily in dairy, post-mix, smoothie and wine applications. Later that year, the company also acquired Affaba & Ferrari™, a designer and manufacturer of precision caps and closures for food & beverage and industrial product applications. In 2023, the company acquired Aarts Packaging B.V., a well-established, innovative luxury packaging solutions provider for prestigious beauty and lifestyle brands, as well as for customers in the food and life sciences end markets.
