In recent years, Liberty Packaging has also acquired corrugated-focused container firms in Dallas, Houston, Omaha and San Diego.
Alois Box is a strong player in the corrugated packaging market in the Chicago area. The company has manufactured corrugated boxes, die cuts, and displays since 1953. The Alois Box employees will become part of the Liberty Packaging team.

Fiterman said Alois Box Co. and its brands will become part of LDI's Liberty Packaging group, North Region. He said David Jones and other existing senior employees will continue to staff key management positions in the company.

LDI's Fiterman said, "Our industry is changing. This acquisition will help us deliver on our commitment to customers for increasingly demanding corrugated solutions, including sustainability, right-weighting and retail-ready packaging."
