The Corvaglia Group extends the existing sales representation relationship with MCG Industries to a strategic partnership. MCG Industries is the largest manufacturer of plastic closures in South Africa and runs three production sites in this country. Thanks to the new agreement MCG Industries becomes fully licensed partner of Corvaglia for all closures and moulds is responsible for the African Markets and surrounding islands.

Positively commenting on behalf of Corvaglia, Thomas Anderegg, CEO of Corvaglia Closures, said: "The young and dynamic management teams of Corvaglia and MCG have a good match. In the future, together with MCG Industries, Corvaglia will emboss the African market for plastic closures. All bottlers can look forward to this development and will have a direct benefit from better products under good conditions." Also Neelin Naidoo, CEO of MCG Industries, believes the relationship to be the first step of a success story: "I have no doubt that MCG and Corvaglia will enjoy a mutually beneficial long term relationship. I can assure that MCG are developing the necessary plans to entrench the Corvaglia product range in the licensed territory, and consequently, I look forward to our mutual success."
