TRG Packaging Acquires Columbia Container
Emerald Packaging Acquires Blower-Dempsay Corp.
Chicago, Illinois based TRG Packaging and Display Solu- tions, one of the nation’s largest independent corrugated and display manufacturers, has announced the acquisition of Columbia Container, a full-service corrugated manufac- turer based in Baltimore, Maryland. Columbia Container serves national, regional, and local customers with a broad range of products, from traditional brown boxes to litho-mounted point-of-purchase displays. Known for its strong customer focus, the company has built a reputation for responsive service, knowledgeable support, and reliable turnaround times that help custom- ers bring products to market efficiently. “This acquisition strengthens our network in the Mid-At- lantic market and adds a team with a proven ability to exe- cute,” said Kevin Miller, CEO of TRG Packaging and Display Solutions. “It allows us to better align capacity, enhance responsiveness, and further extend our capabilities across the region.” Brendan Moynihan, President of Columbia Container, added, “Partnering with TRG expands our scale and oper- ational platform, allowing us to do more for our customers while maintaining the service and execution they expect. It positions us to grow more effectively and respond with greater agility as needs evolve.”
Union City, California based Emerald Packaging, a supplier of flexible packaging solutions for the produce industry, has expanded its capabilities with the acquisition of San- ta Ana, California based Blower-Dempsay Corp., a family owned manufacturing and distribution company specializ- ing in corrugated solutions, folding cartons, and industrial packaging engineering and distribution. The deal is the first acquisition in Emerald Packaging’s 63-year history and gives the company a well-positioned second California location to serve its customers in Arizo- na and northern Mexico. The purchase will eventually increase Emerald’s head- count from 250 today to over 300 by the end of the year. Emerald will benefit not only from increased capacity, but a strong geographic link to its largest customers. Em- erald will now be only three hours to the Mexicali crossing as opposed to over a day, which is critical to serving cus- tomers in that region. Emerald’s new Santa Ana facility features an eight col- or, 52” wide Windmoeller & Hoelscher printing press, two Nordmeccanica laminators, two slitters and a thermal oxi- dizer. The company plans to add slitters with laser and hot needle capability and a second printing press soon. Visit: empack.com .
