Global packaging firm Zeus has acquired the Weedon Group, the UK's largest independent integrated paper product manufacturers, for an undisclosed amount.

Zeus, founded by Corkman Brian O'Sullivan in 1998, completed the deal as part of the company’s goal to use more sustainable packaging by investing in paper-based products over plastic. The company said it aims to achieve net zero by 2050.
