  The combination of APL and Comar enhances Comar’s medical device and pharmaceutical packaging manufacturing expertise and represents the first step in its global expansion. With Ireland being one of the world’s major medtech and pharmaceutical industry hubs, the acquisition provides an exceptional foundation for Comar to supply its multinational customers and grow in European healthcare markets.
