New Indy JV to Acquire Carolina Container
New-Indy JV Corp., a joint venture between The Kraft Group, Foxborough, Mass., USA, and Schwarz Partners, Indianapolis, Ind., has agreed to acquire Carolina Container Co., Highpoint, N.C. The expected closing date for the acquisition is the end of this month. This acquisition would include CaroCon Display and Packaging, a division of Carolina Container.

"This acquisition will allow us to better support our customers with exceptional quality while expanding our reach and responsiveness in the region. We are excited about the opportunities this acquisition will provide and the services we will be able to provide through the combined companies."
