Napa, California – On February 1st 2015, two leading packaging suppliers, Amcor Flexibles Capsules and Maverick Enterprises, Inc. will further strengthen their position in North America through the creation of a manufacturing and sales partnership. The two companies will combine their extensive knowledge and experience in the manufacturing of polylaminate, PVC & sparkling foils for the North American wine and spirits market.
Both companies have been producing locally in close proximity to the wine industry for more than twenty years and are renowned for quality and speed of service.
