Aptar Group in 2010 is to undergo a strategic realignment of its businesses under three market-focused business segments: Aptar Food + Beverage, Aptar Beauty + Home, and Aptar Pharma.

The companies, which specialise in distribution systems for widely-used products and medical dispensing systems, are Airlessystems, Emsar, Indigo by Valois, Pfeiffer, Seaquist Closures, Seaquist Perfect Dispensing and Valois. They will operate under common brands according to the new, market-line structure.

In addition, the third segment, Aptar Pharma, will have two divisions: Consumer Health Care, focused on drug delivery solutions adapted to over-the-counter medications; and Prescription, focused on drug delivery solutions specific to physician-prescribed medicines.

The move ‘will make it even easier for customers to do business with us’, says Peter Pfeiffer, president and CEO of the Aptar Group. “We will be able to offer our full product range in each of the three segments. This new milestone will help secure our long-term growth and reinforce our position as a global leader in our industry,” he added.
