The expansion has been made with the sole objective of increasing productivity which is likely to improve by 20% or more.

(GRM) has been terminated with Silgan not upping its prior offer within the three days&#8217; grace period leading to Graham accepting Rank Group’s much superior offer. Last week, Graham Packaging had informed Silgan that it is planning to accept a higher offer of $25 per share, or $1.64 billion, from New Zealand’s Rank Group and Silgan had three days to come up with a better offer. Graham will now receive a higher sum of $25.50 per share from Rank Group of $1.68 billion. As the Silgan-Graham deal will not materialize, Graham Packaging will have to pay Silgan a termination fee of $39.5 million as per their original agreement. Graham Packaging is a leading global supplier of value-added rigid plastic ]]></description>
