PGP Glass will acquire the manufacturing and sale of glass packaging business of Piramal Glass, its shareholding in certain subsidiaries such as Vivid Glass Trading and some business divisions of Ansapack.

Piramal Glass was a unit of Mr Ajay Piramal-led Piramal Group. It is engaged in the manufacture and sale of glass packaging and glass decoration, catering to the cosmetics, perfumery, specialty food and beverages, and pharmaceutical industries.

Its subsidiaries that are part of the proposed combination include Ansa Deco Glass, Kosamba Glass Deco, Piramal Glass UK, Piramal Glass Europe, Piramal Glass Ceylon and Piramal US.
