Igepa shareholders acquire German wholesaler Freytag & Petersen

IGEPA shareholder companies, through joint subsidiary IGEPA Grosshandel Beteiligungs GmbH, are acquiring 100% of German packaging and print-media wholesaler Freytag & Petersen from sole shareholder Prof. Dr. Heinrich Hugo Best. Freytag & Petersen's stakes in other IGEPA companies pass to the four remaining shareholder firms, and the two wholesalers will be gradually integrated over the coming weeks and months.
