Dura-Fibre, LLC, strengthens its presence in custom laminated products and packaging with today’s acquisition of Greif® Chicago Converting. The acquisition further solidifies Dura-Fibre’s position as one of the largest independent industrial paperboard laminating businesses in the United States.
Dura-Fibre will now add several industry-leading solutions to its portfolio, including:
• Strap Protectors – The rigid solid fiber solution provides superior protection to cargo secured by straps or chains for dimensional lumber, plywood and other industries.
• FiberWrap® – The protective packaging solution has 250% – 300% greater beam strength than traditional corrugated packaging and forms a true 90-degree angle for tighter fit and edge protection.
• Coverboard products – The full line of diploma covers, register books, presentation folders and specialty applications.
Following the acquisition, manufacturing operations will move to Dura-Fibre’s Menasha manufacturing facility. Greif’s Protect-A-Board and Protect-A-Floor™ products are not included in the sale.
