CCL Industries in Bristol supply deal

PACKAGING services supplier CCL Industries says its container arm has been awarded a minimum three-year contract to supply Bristol Myers Squibb's aluminium aerosol and tube requirements.

CCL will also supply similar requirements of Bristol's subsidiaries, Clairol, Matrix and Westwood.

The firm expects the annualised value of sales under the contract to be about US$17 million. The extra output will be added by March 31.

The container division had more than $105 million worth of sales in 1995.

Rami Younes, president of the firm's container arm, expects the large runs to increase CCL efficiency.

CCL Industries is a leading supplier of manufacturing and speciality packaging services for consumer non-durables.
