CRYSTAL LAKE - AptarGroup Inc. said it has acquired a 49% equity interest in three related BTY companies: Suzhou Hsing Kwang, Suqian Hsing Kwang and Suzhou BTY, collectively referred to as BTY.

The companies are Chinese manufacturers of high quality, decorative metal components, metal-plastic subassemblies and complete color cosmetics packaging solutions for the beauty industry.

The investment brings complementary and distinctive capabilities to Aptar, including high speed stamping and anodization, metal and plastic decoration and differentiated lipstick masstige mechanism design and manufacturing.

Financial details will be disclosed upon completion of the transaction, which is expected to close by the end of 2019. The company said the purchase will be funded with cash on hand.
