“rpc group’s full - year figures feature all three , which may explain the sceptical response to today’s numbers , even though adjusted operating profit of £308m exceeded even the upgraded guidance provided by chief executive pim vervaat back in march .
june 7 ( reuters ) - british packaging company rpc group plc reported a 67 percent rise in its full - year revenue , helped partly by acquisitions , and said it had started the financial year in line with management’s expectations .
the rpc group’s overall strategy is to grow and develop leading positions in their chosen product markets and geographies in the plastics industry by establishing strong long - term relationships with customers and developing high quality innovative products that meet customers’ needs .
the routines in this group provide a more general interface for manipulating endpoint maps than the one provided by the local endpoint operations group . routines in this group allow the examination of endpoint map elements one at a time and permit operations both on the application host ' s local endpoint map and on remote endpoint maps . these are considered management operations because of their potential to affect applications other than the one making the management call .
the rpc model is server - centred in the sense that rpc provides many facilities to support varied and powerful server implementations , often with relatively little programming effort . these include :
applications can use the routines in this group to query and stop servers remotely . servers can also use these operations to query and stop themselves .
the company ' s next purchase came in 1993 , when it bought bunzl plc ' s blow molding production unit . this purchase boosted rpc ' s production of household chemicals and toiletries packaging systems . setting its sights on further growth , rpc moved to raise capital , listing its shares on the london stock exchange in that year . at the same time , the company adopted a new name , rpc group plc .
the rpc api provides a consistent error handling mechanism for all routines . each routine includes a
in order to make object uuids available to clients seeking a specific object , servers offering an object typically export object uuids to a group entry for that object . the group entry name is thus effectively associated with the object . clients seeking a specific object can begin by importing an object uuid from the group entry for the object . the client then imports bindings for the object and interface it wants , beginning its search with the object entry .
for rpc , the acquisition of astrapak represents a strategic opportunity to acquire a rigid plastic packaging group of scale ( a ‘mini rpc’ ) , with well - established market positions , in a new territory . the proposed acquisition represents an excellent fit with rpc’s vision 2020 objective to increase its manufacturing footprint outside of europe . rpc sees astrapak as platform for growth in the increasingly important sub - saharan african market , and believes that the complementary skill - sets can accelerate the group’s prospects . the consideration , based on an enterprise value of the operational assets being acquired by rpc of zar 1 , 370 million on a cash - free , debt - free basis , is equivalent to an enterprise value to underlying ebitda fy16a multiple of approximately 6 . 3 times .
1999 rpc acquires able industries ' blow molding assets and three cressdale factories in the united kingdom .
rpc will be funding the consideration through its existing debt facilities and has lodged the necessary guarantees .
the name service interface defines four rpc - specific name service attributes . these are as follows :
returns all protocol sequences supported by both the rpc run - time system and the operating system .
applications use this routine to free the string memory allocated by rpc api routines that return strings .
rpc is a leading plastic products design and engineering company for packaging and non - packaging markets .
june 6 rpc group plc is looking to sell non - core assets with total revenue of 209 million pounds ( $ 280 million ) , as the british packaging company seeks to sharpen its focus on higher - value plastics that can be recycled or reused .
management has also consistently highlighted the desire for international input into the group in terms of skills development , improving operating performance , innovation and international key account management .
the plastic packaging industry is fragmented , with rpc commanding just 6 % of the european market . the group has sought to grow by snapping up smaller competitors to supplement its steady organic growth , and has recently started to make acquisitions outside its european home market .
the rpc api is the programmer ' s interface to the run - time system . the run - time system makes use of a number of services , such as the endpoint mapper , name services and security services . the rpc api also provides an interface to these services for carrying out rpc - specific operations . portable usage of the rpc api is fully specified in this section of this document .

the rpc mechanism itself imposes few restrictions on the organisation of operations into interfaces . rpc does provide a means to specify interface versions and a protocol to select a compatible interface version at bind time ( see
from this point of view , a local procedure call is a special simple case of the more general call mechanism provided by rpc . rpc semantics extend local procedure call semantics in a variety of ways :
the rpc api provides programmers with the means to apply these extended semantics , but it shields applications from the rigours of transport level send - and - receive programming . the rpc programming paradigm gives the programmer control of the remote semantics at two points : in the interface specification and through the rpc api .

nicholas mockett , head of packaging m & a at moorgate capital , said :
since the management buy - out in 1991 , rpc group has long been a leading consolidator in the rigid plastic packaging industry , particularly in europe and more recently in china and us .
the enlarged group will benefit from opportunities to extend its product and technology offering across the full breadth of its combined operations as well as to achieve cost efficiencies .
1997 rpc becomes the european leader through the acquisition of continental plastics europe and its 13 european production sites .
the programmer - written application code interacts with the rpc run - time system principally through the stub . this makes run - time operations largely transparent to the application code . nevertheless , in order to control binding , security and other aspects of the rpc mechanism , the application often needs direct access to run - time operations . the rpc api provides applications with such access to the rpc run - time system and related services .
the server registers a set of object uuid / type uuid associations with the rpc run - time system .
the following sections summarise the rpc api routines , classifying them according to the kinds of functions they perform .
the client / server view of rpc is necessarily asymmetric . the model is based on providing services remotely via the export of rpc interfaces . since servers are the means for implementing remote interfaces , the model is server - centred . the rpc architecture provides certain server facilities that make the implementation of servers more efficient . these include
rpc returned to poland in 2001 , buying a thermoforming facility in kruszwica from autobar . whereas the group experienced strong growth through most of its operations , its factory in oevel , belgium , had proven to be a money - loser , and in june 2001 the company closed that site .
rpc extends the local cancel mechanism by forwarding cancels that occur during an rpc to the server handling the call , allowing the server application code to handle the cancel . rpc adds a cancel time - out mechanism to ensure that a caller can regain control within a specified amount of time if a cancelled call should fail to return .
the routines in this group manipulate interface information . many of these routines take interface handle arguments . these handles are declared by stubs to reference the stubs ' interface specifications . the routine
rpc acquires continental plastics europe ( 12 sites ) from schmalbach - lubeca , establishing a presence in mainland europe .
rpc does , however , provide specific mechanisms that implicitly support different approaches to resource modeling . these mechanisms take advantage of the flexibility of the binding process and the name services . the rpc mechanism supports three basic resource models :
implementations of the rpc api must be synchronous cancel - safe ( in the context of posix threads ) . implementations of the rpc api need not be asynchronous cancel - safe . multi - threaded implementations must be thread - safe .
, group member and profile element represent names that may be found in the namespace . associated with each of these entries in the namespace may be any of the eight possible combinations of the
applications use the routines in this group to implement character and code set interoperability , which permits clients and servers to transfer international character data in a heterogeneous character set and code sets environment .
rpc is one of europe ' s leading manufacturers of rigid plastic packaging - think yoghurt pots , shampoo bottles etc . glamorous it isn ' t , but the group has been able to increase its dividend every year since 1995 , though there are of course no guarantees this impressive record will be maintained .
if the notification is delivered to and handled by the server application thread , the rpc returns normally to the client .
other significant changes include huhtamaki ' s divestment of most of its rigid plastics packaging operations and rpc ' s acquisition of superfos to enhance its position as a supplier of injection moulded containers . rexam is another major packaging group which has chosen to divest various food packaging plants to focus on healthcare and beauty packaging .
in march 2016 , rpc group bought french bottle - top maker global closure systems for £468 . 7m in a bid to strengthen its position in europe ' s plastic packaging market . it also bought british polythene industries ( bpi ) in june , in a deal which valued the scottish packaging company at £261m .
n order to fund the acquisition , rpc has conducted a rights issue of almost 83 million shares at 665p each , to raise £552m . this is a 37 . 2pc discount on rpc’s closing price of £10 . 59 per share yesterday .
rpc provides server concurrency without requiring application code to spawn additional threads or processes explicitly . when beginning to listen for a call , the server application requests a number of call threads , and the rpc run - time system automatically provides the requested
the group expects to achieve cost synergies of
at least €15m
per annum within three years of completion , with half of these to be achieved in the first full financial year post completion .
the deal was accompanied by a brief third quarter update . quarterly profits are ahead of management expectations , with integration of the group ' s gcs and bpi acquisitions delivering synergies in line with expectations .

“the offer from rpc represents an exciting opportunity for all of our stakeholders . i believe the proposed transaction enables us to release the underlying value of the group to our shareholders . it also allows our flexible businesses the freedom to pursue their own strategy through their unbundling and listing . and most importantly , it provides really exciting opportunities for our staff and our customers . our forming and moulding operations are a scaled down version of rpc and a variety of synergies and opportunities will evolve in both the near and long term . pim vervaat , the chief executive of rpc , has clearly articulated rpc’s strategy of creating a meaningful presence outside of europe and using astrapak to develop a platform from which to serve the high growth sub - saharan african market . we are all looking forward to joining rpc and taking up the challenge ! ”
in february this year , another major purchase was announced in the form of letica group for £552 million . the acquisition has reportedly started well for gcs and further expands the organisation’s foothold in the usa .

the rpc api provides an extensive name service interface that applications use to export and import binding information . in general , name services can support much broader usage , but the rpc api is designed to support the rpc binding mechanism , rather than as a generalised name service interface . the following sections describe those aspects of name services that are relevant to the name service interface and binding .

the discussion in this chapter is intentionally vague about how any of this information is communicated between client and server . the underlying rpc protocol packages the required information for transmission . however , api usage is protocol - independent , and this chapter provides a protocol - independent description of rpc . hence , this chapter typically refers to the binding information
contained
in a call without specifying how such information is actually transmitted or received . this is left to the rpc protocol specifications in part 4 , rpc services and protocols .

) said on thursday it would acquire letica group , a u . s . - based maker of plastic food - packaging products , for up to $ 640 million ( 509 million pounds ) to expand outside europe .
the routines in this group manipulate binding information . most of these routines use binding handle parameters to refer to the underlying binding information . the string binding routines provide a way to manipulate binding information directly in string format .
rpc has the flexibility to work just as easily with major multinational companies and local and emerging businesses . we are global in our reach , wide - ranging in our capabilities , and diverse in the markets we serve . all of which makes a career with rpc very appealing .
implementations may buffer rpc requests at the server and automatically provide multiple threads to handle concurrent requests , relieving the application programmer of these tasks .

tells the rpc run - time system to use all the protocol sequences and endpoints specified in the interface specification for receiving remote procedure calls .
into the late 1990s , rpc recognized the potential for developing itself into an internationally operating packaging provider . in this way , the company would be able to serve its increasingly multinationally operating customer base . rpc took a major step into transforming itself into the european rigid plastics packaging leader in 1997 , when it paid £63 million to acquire continental plastics europe . a unit of can maker schmalbach lubeca ( later acquired by ball industries ) , continental plastics brought 13 factories located throughout the european continent , including germany , belgium , the netherlands , spain , poland , hungary , and south wales , as well as the bebo brand . the purchase also enabled rpc to expand its production capacity into the third major plastics packaging segment , thermoforming . as such , rpc became the sole european producer using all three plastics conversion processes . with sales nearing £250 million following the continental acquisitions , rpc became the leading rigid plastics packaging group in europe .
the origins of rpc group traced back to denmark ' s superfos , which established a plastic packaging production unit in oakham , england , in 1973 . founded in 1892 , superfos had grown into a highly diversified conglomerate by then , and had entered the plastic packaging market only in 1964 . through the 1970s , superfos built the oakham site into one of the united kingdom ' s major plastic packaging producers . the u . k . subsidiary initially specialized in the production of plastic buckets , and quickly dominated that product sector . in the 1970s , the oakham plant also developed a new plastic paint can , called the paintainer , which became a long - lasting success , not only for superfos , but for the later rpc group as well .
rpc also said it would raise gross proceeds of about 552 million pounds through a 1 - for - 4 rights issue to finance the deal .
rpc is a leading plastic product design and engineering business in a growing and globalising market offering attractive dividend streams with a track record of delivering .
it provides general information that is relevant to many of the routines in the rpc api , but is not specified in the individual manual pages .
at the core of this model is the rpc run - time system , which is a library of routines and a set of services that handle the network communications that underlie the rpc mechanism . in the course of an rpc call , client - side and server - side run - time systems ' code handle binding , establish communications over an appropriate protocol , pass call data between the client and server , and handle communications errors .
we operate a training and development programme for staff at all levels , we promote equal opportunities , and we operate a european works council , which brings together employee representatives from across the group’s operations to discuss business matters with senior managers .
the routines in this group carry out operations typically done by name service management applications or only infrequently done by most applications . these are considered management operations because of their potential to affect applications other than the one making the management call .
the client / server view of rpc programming describes the distributed resource model implemented by the rpc mechanism . in this view , programming tasks are divided between servers , which provide services or make resources available to remote clients , and clients , which seek and make use of these services or resources .
rpc provides a remote cancel notification mechanism that can forward asynchronous cancel notifications to servers . when a client thread receives a cancel notification during an rpc , the run - time environment forwards the notification to the server . when the server run - time system receives the forwarded notification , it attempts to notify the server application thread that is handling the call . this can result in one of three outcomes for the rpc call on the client side :

analysts have suggested rpc will look to strengthen its global position with acquisitions likely to take place in european countries and beyond over the next two years .
executing procedures across physical machine boundaries and over a network creates additional requirements for security . the rpc api includes an interface to the underlying security services .
the rpc run - time system automatically offers a set of remote server management interfaces that can be used for such purposes as querying and stopping servers .
rpc transparency to the application programmer is provided by the interface specification mechanism . the programmer specifies interfaces using an interface definition language ( idl ) , and
the rpc name service api includes an extensive set of operations for exporting and importing binding information to and from name services . these operations make use of a set of rpc - specific name service entry attributes to structure the exported binding information so that it can easily be found and interpreted by clients .
uuids ( universal unique identifiers ) are used frequently by the rpc mechanism for a variety of purposes . the uuid operations enable applications to manipulate uuids .

in the server - oriented model , it is the server that is of interest to clients looking for bindings . in the simplest case , each server exports its bindings to one server entry and clients can go directly to a server entry to find bindings . server instances may be interchangeable if they are running on the same host and offer the same interfaces and objects . entries for interchangeable server instances may be organised as a group , and clients may begin their binding searches at the group entry .

rpc immediately embarked on an expansion course driven by acquisition . the first of these came with the purchase of the swindon - based injection molding capacity of carnaudmetalbox in 1991 . that purchase boosted rpc ' s paintainer production capacity , while also providing it with facilities for producing custom - molded food packaging and containers .
rpc is funding the acquisition through a £200m rights issue , with the balance coming from its revolving credit facility , which will increase from £350m to £490m .
the figures suggest rpc ' s strategy is working well , but russ mould , investment director at aj bell , said investors are reading between the lines .
. what is covered here are the assumptions that the rpc programming model makes about stubs , such as well - known stub names and stub memory management .
after amcor the second largest company - and the largest packaging producer in volume terms consuming in excess of 700 , 000 tonnes of polymer / year at its european plants - is the austro - german group , alpla . unlike most other leading players this group continues to grow its business mainly by investment in greenfield and in - plant factories . the last five years have been a particularly intense period of growth for alpla having added nearly 40 new sites worldwide for the manufacture of various bottles , containers and closures .
in the service - oriented model , clients are interested in some service , as defined by an interface ( and its versions ) . the interface may be exported by more than one server , and server entries for servers that export a given interface may be organised in the same group . however , client applications seeking services normally do not have knowledge of the local namespace that will lead them directly to the required group entry . typically , such clients use profiles to find the local instantiations of services they want .
reedpack ' s independence did not last long . in 1990 , the company agreed to be acquired by swedish paper and packaging group svenska cellulosa . following that purchase , svenska cellulosa sold off the reedpack containers unit , including its five u . k . production sites , in a new management buyout led by ron marsh . the newly independent company , formed in 1991 , took on the name of rpc containers ltd .

in showing how the rpc api routines are meant to be used , this chapter provides certain guidelines for consistent rpc client / server interface usage . these guidelines cover such areas as using the naming services and organising server resources . by following them , programmers can simplify the task of maintaining and enhancing server interfaces and writing client programs .
the name service leaf entries can support a set of rpc - specific attributes that the name service interface uses when it exports , searches for and imports binding information .
profit before tax increased 105 per cent to £154 . 7m in the year to the end of march due partly to acquisitions made since the launch of a new strategy in 2013 . the group acquired letica corporation , british polythene industries and global closure systems during the year .
if the notification is delivered to the server application thread , but the server application code fails to handle it , the rpc returns to the client with a fault status .
rpc ' s focus remained on the u . k . plastics packaging market into the middle of the decade . in 1994 , the company added to its leading position there with the acquisition of mckechnie plc ' s plastic packaging operations . that purchase , which cost rpc £6 million , brought it three new factories in market , rasen , and halstead .
the rpc api provides a small number of interfaces that applications can use to set the authentication and authorisation services and the protection levels used by remote procedure calls . servers that want
rpc maintained its growth momentum through the end of the decade . in 1998 , the company made three new acquisitions , starting with stag plastics , based in bristol , a part of the bunzl group . the company acquired two thermoforming sites in the netherlands from aep industries inc . that year as well , paying $ 4 million . the company then combined those operations , which specialized in the production of trays and food containers , into its bebo business in germany and poland . next , rpc paid £16 . 5 million to acquire the disposable plastic products operations from gizeh , adding factories in france and poland , and a distribution business in germany .
the group announced its strategy , vision 2020 : focused growth strategy in 2013 , designed to build on opportunities for focused growth organically through our leading product and process innovation capabilities , consolidating in europe through acquisitions , expanding our global presence and also utilising our core competences in non - packaging solutions .
rpc highlighted the fact promens also has manufacturing facilities in china , which it said would complement its own regional platform established through the acquisition ace earlier this year , and in india .
rpc also said today that revenues for the quarter ending december 31 had “increased significantly” compared to the same period last year , thanks to some currency changes and growth in the business .
the rpc paradigm makes remote calls an extension of the familiar local procedure call mechanism . specifically , the call itself is made as a local procedure call , and the underlying rpc mechanism handles the remoteness transparently . server interface programming is thus similar to local procedure call programming , except that the handler of the call runs in a separate address space and security domain .
it increases the probability of success in the face of partial failures because applications can look for bindings to servers in different locations and choose among a variety of rpc and network protocols .
routine . rpc name service routines use name service handles to refer to search state information maintained by the run - time system . the data type declaration for these handles is described in
client applications may want to avoid waiting an indeterminate amount of time before a cancelled call returns . the rpc mechanism therefore allows client applications to specify a cancel time - out period .
rpc group is europe ' s leading manufacturer of rigid plastic packaging and is unique in that it is able to offer products made by all three conversion processes , blow moulding , injection moulding and thermoforming . it has 47 operations in 12 different countries and employs over 6 , 500 people . rpc services a comprehensive range of customers - - from the largest european manufacturers of consumer products to the smallest national businesses . it has particularly strong positions in the beauty and personal care sector , the vending and drinking cup market , the margarine industry , and in multi - layer sheet and packs for oxygen sensitive food products . our objectives are to further strengthen rpc ' s position in these and other sectors of the european market and to optimise our production , thereby generating a satisfactory return for our shareholders and the best possible security for our employees , suppliers and customers .
rpc said it expected to record pretax cost savings of about $ 5 million within the second full year of ownership , and that letica management had identified synergies worth about $ 12 million .
recent acquisitions of french bottle - top maker gcs and smaller british rival british polythene industries performed above expectations , helping rpc increase pre - tax profit by 105 per cent to £155 million .
since september 30 , rpc has now acquired , or agreed to acquire , seven companies for around £850m as it looks to expand both within europe and in the rest of the world .
the routines in this group manipulate information in an application host ' s local endpoint map . these include the routines that servers typically use to register and unregister their binding information in the local endpoint map . a set of endpoint management routines is also available for more general manipulation of local and remote endpoint maps .
the board said the deal would strengthen rpc ' s position in its core markets while adding niche technologies , such as rotational moulding , vacuum forming , reaction injection moulding and expanded polystyrene capabilities .
rpc has also generated 73 per cent of profits from its international centres , which has helped the company start the new financial year in a strong position and in line with the organisation’s expectations .
the rpc programming mechanism does not explicitly enforce these models . instead , they are supported implicitly by making available a set of run - time binding and name service facilities through the rpc api . programmers may use these facilities according to their application requirements . however , this document recommends that programs follow the models specified here in order to ensure consistent use of the client / server interface .
in ami ' s analysis speciality food packaging producer sealed air corporation ranks as the third largest producer with plastics packaging related sales in europe in excess of one billion euros for 2010 . challenging for that spot in 2011 will be rpc following its acquisition of superfos which was completed in february 2011 so not taken into account in ami ' s listing . the combined sales of these two businesses is expected to top eur 1 . 1 billion with a polymer purchasing requirement in excess of 300 , 000 tonnes . rpc ' s strategy has been to grow its business through such strategic acquisitions , although rising costs have also seen the group review its operation to ensure that it focuses on the most appropriate and attractive plastics packaging businesses .
this chapter provides a general description of the programming model implemented by the rpc application programming interface ( api ) . this description includes definitions of many of the concepts used throughout the rpc api manual pages . as such , it is a necessary prerequisite to the understanding of the manual pages , and the manual pages assume knowledge of this chapter , even when they do not make explicit reference to it .
letica is the group ' first major foray into north america , and the acquisition multiple is above what rpc has paid for other businesses . however , management have a good record of taking costs out of acquired businesses , not least through increased polymer ( raw plastic ) buying power ( an option which should be available here despite the lack of geographical overlap ) . it ' s worth bearing in mind though that all acquisitions come with risks , especially when they ' re large and outside a company ' s normal comfort zone .
along with acquisitions performing
