Through this transaction, we are able to further intensify our focus on our successful Quad 3.0 growth strategy, which delivers greater value to clients by solving their complex marketing problems and process challenges. Net proceeds of approximately $10 million will be used to reduce debt.”

David Wilsted, FCA Packaging Chief Executive Officer said: “Since its founding in 1985, FCA has been supplying a broad range of highly customized, heavy-duty industrial packaging products and services to many of the world’s leading original equipment manufacturers in the industrial space. We are thrilled to acquire such a high-quality business as Transpak, which has a very experienced and successful management team and employee base. With Transpak, we have greater geographic reach and an expanded set of services that will create additional value for our customers worldwide.”
