This buyout will be beneficial for Berry Global, as it will enhance the company's sales generating capabilities in the core films market, and add 380 skilled employees and five manufacturing facilities in the United States. Particularly, the company's Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment sales in the reported quarter were driven by the Clopay Plastic Products buyout (completed in February 2018). Moreover, escalating debt levels, as well as headwinds emanating from rise in transportation expenses and inflation in raw material costs, remain major concerns for the company.
