Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Berlin Packaging added BlueSky on June 11, 2026, strengthening UK market share.
- O.Berk joined on June 10, 2026, expanding North American beverage and pharma reach.
- HQ relocation to Merchandise Mart in 2025 signals growth, visibility, and recruitment momentum.
What critics are saying
- Constant acquisitions create integration risk; BlueSky, O.Berk, Cosmei, and Jurcal need rapid systems alignment.
- Packaging customers can switch suppliers quickly, pressuring margins when resins, glass, and freight fluctuate.
- If 2026 integrations slip, Berlin's 2027 cross-sell story collapses and PE exit valuations compress.
What makes Berlin Packaging unique
- Berlin Packaging bundles containers, design, logistics, warehousing, and sourcing through Studio One Eleven.
- June 2026 BlueSky and O.Berk acquisitions extend one platform across EMEA and North America.
- Cosmei and Jurcal deepen packaging expertise in beauty, pharma, and beverage markets.

Last updated: 12/06/2026 at 7:55 PM 12 June 2026 'We are proud to join forces with Berlin Packaging and excited for the opportunities this partnership creates.' Berlin Packaging has acquired two bottle manufacturers this week: BlueSky in the UK and O Berk Co in the US. Headquartered on the east coast of England, family-owned BlueSky supplies glass, metal and plastic containers. According to Berlin Packaging's EMEA division, its purchase "represents a strategic step in expanding our presence and capabilities in the UK market". "By combining our highly responsive, consultative service with Berlin's global scale, sourcing strength and innovation capabilities, we will be able to offer our customers a broader range of packaging solutions, enhanced supply chain resilience and even greater support as they grow," said BlueSky MD Russell Wade. O Berk Co, meanwhile, is headquartered in New Jersey and has production sites in California, Connecticut and Maryland that supply glass, metal and plastic containers and closures for beverage companies - with previous clients including Maryland-based Seacrets Distilling Co. "We are proud to join forces with Berlin Packaging and excited for the opportunities this partnership creates," said O Berk's CEO, Marc Gaelen. "Berlin's global supply chain, digital capabilities, sustainability expertise, logistics platform and 'Studio One Eleven' design services will enhance the solutions available to our customers and create new opportunities for our employees and suppliers." Financial details of either deal were not disclosed. In other packaging news this week, Sazerac Co released details of a ready-to-drink line in a clear can that the company claims is the "world's first transparent canned vodka water".
