MalStra LLC Acquires OMV

Thermoforming machinery manufacturer OMV Machinery S.R.L., Verona, Italy, was acquired by Florida-based MalStra LLC. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. However, the new company name will be OMV Technologies LLC and will be headquartered in Florida. OMV’s manufacturing operations will continue to operate out of Verona, and all current personnel will be retained.

Plastics packaging professionals Mark Strachan and Brooke Maltun are the owners of MalStra and will lead the new OMV. Plans include continuing to build machines and tooling in Italy, while adding operations in Italy and the USA.

OMV will be opening an extrusion thermoforming lab, a product development lab and a training facility in Florida. In addition, all US-based parts and service will be relocated from Polytype America’s current location in New Jersey to Florida.
