Growth Capital Partners (GCP) is pleased to announce its investment in B&I Polycontainers (Pty) Ltd (“B&I”), completed on 1 March 2025, with an effective date of 1 September 2024.
Founded in 1996 by Vaughan Brown, B&I specializes in manufacturing plastic packaging solutions using blow-moulding, injection-moulding, and in-mould labelling techniques. The company serves a diverse customer base across the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, automotive, and chemical industries.
Operating from a 7,000 sqm facility in Alberton, Gauteng, B&I processes a wide range of materials, including PVC, HDPE, LDPE, PP, and PET, to meet customized requirements. The company also offers an integrated printing department, utilizing screen printing, UV curing, and pad printing to deliver complete packaging solutions.
GCP’s investment enabled one of B&I’s founding shareholders to fully realize the value of their stake, while also facilitating a partial exit for the executive team, allowing them to diversify their holdings while remaining actively involved in the business. This partnership marks an exciting new chapter for B&I, reinforcing its position as a leader in innovative and sustainable packaging solutions.
