Mill Rock Packaging Inc ("MRP") announced that it has entered into a strategic alliance with Everett Graphics ("Everett" or "the Company"). MRP has acquired Everett's Woodland, California packaging and laminating assets and entered into a long-term supply agreement with the Company.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"The addition of the Woodland facility is a critical part of our strategy to grow our West Coast packaging busine ss and complements our continued investment in large-format printing," said MRP CEO Allen Ennis. "We welcome the team and value the deep industry knowledge they will bring to our customers."
Everett's packaging and laminating facility houses state-of-the-art assets, including a Bobst Masterflute, coupled with Bobst large format die cutting and gluing.
MRP will partner with Everett on an ongoing basis to support the latter's sustainable tray business, which is focused on single-use plastic replacement.
"I can't think of a better home for our laminating unit, and I'm excited to be partnering with Mill Rock Packaging on our growing tray offering," said Whit Everett, CEO of Everett Graphics. "Their extensive network of facilities will be a valuable asset as we continue our mission to assist customers in replacing single-use plastic."
