Ampersand Acquires CurTec for U.S. Growth and Innovation

A new chapter is opening up for CurTec, the Dutch-headquartered market leader in high-performance packaging for the specialty chemicals and pharmaceuticals industry. In a transaction that holds the promise of fueling its growth and innovation, CurTec has been acquired by Ampersand Capital Partners, a US-based private equity firm with strong convictions in life sciences and healthcare.

This strategic partnership marks more than just a change in ownership — it represents a focused push to scale operations in the U.S., expand product offerings, and bring even more value to customers operating in highly regulated, high-stakes environments.

Based in Rijen and active in both Europe and the United States, CurTec has built its success on GMP-compliant, UN-certified packaging—carefully crafted to ensure sensitive ingredients such as APIs and excipients are safeguarded in storage and transit. Its packaging is used by more than 300 companies worldwide, where cleanliness and compliance are not a choice — they’re a requirement.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Ampersand,” said Bart van Berkel, CEO of CurTec. “Their experience in the life sciences supply chain and their strong U.S. presence make them the ideal partner as we ramp up our operations and push forward on innovation.”

That expansion is already well underway. CurTec recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Westminster, South Carolina, strengthening its North American supply capabilities and reinforcing its commitment to global customers.

For Ampersand, the acquisition aligns with its strategy of backing mission-critical suppliers to the life sciences sector. “CurTec is a premium brand known for outstanding quality and regulatory rigor,” said Hidde Van Kerckhoven, Principal at Ampersand. “We’re excited to support the team in scaling operations, entering new markets, and delivering long-term value.”

The story of CurTec’s evolution wouldn’t be complete without recognizing the role of Bencis Capital Partners, which helped shape CurTec into a global leader through years of innovation and operational excellence. “We’re proud of what we’ve built together,” said Zoran van Gessel, Managing Partner at Bencis, “and we know CurTec is in strong hands for its next phase.”

CurTec’s momentum continues, fueled by new product innovations like the Fold Pack, which enhances logistics efficiency while aligning with sustainability goals — a major priority for the modern supply chain.

With a renewed focus and a strong partner in Ampersand, CurTec is now positioned not just to grow — but to help shape the future of regulated packaging in pharma and beyond.
