US-based supplier of plastic, glass, and metal containers and closures Berlin Packaging has acquired Chicago-based Continental Packaging Solutions.
The transaction expands the resources available to customers for fast and expert service and cost-effective rigid packaging.
The acquisition aims to increase the number of Berlin Packaging sales and warehouse locations in North America to more than 70.
It also provides an expanded array of services to Continental’s customers, including custom packaging and graphic design, capital lending, and consulting services.
Besides, the acquisition augments Berlin Packaging’s on-the-ground Asian sourcing capabilities.
Under the Berlin Packaging umbrella, the joint suppliers of both the companies get access to customers and prospects by consolidating sales leads, new product news, and other communications.
Berlin Packaging Chairman and CEO Andrew Berlin said the acquisition extends the geographic reach and expands the network of packaging experts, and advances its mission of helping customers increase their net income by optimising their packaging costs.
