Ardagh to sell?
Ardagh group has gotten bids from several companies to purchase its metal-containers unit, Bloomberg Business reported this week.
Among the early bidders for the unit, valued at $2.65 billion, are BC Partners, Carlyle Group LP and Onex Corp. The company had previously said it planned to sell a minority stake in its metal-containers operation.
Ardagh, an international corporation that owns glass container plants in Dunkirk and Winchester, also filed in June for an initial public offering for its metal-containers business to be known as Oressa. It last expanded in the metal-containers industry when it bought Dutch-based Impress Holdings for about $1.9 million.
A company spokesperson denied a request from Bloomberg for comment on the possible sale.
