QPI acquires Wisconsin Green's West Bend packaging plants

Quality Packaging Inc (QPI) of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, has acquired manufacturing equipment and operating assets of two Wisconsin Green LLC facilities in West Bend, totalling about 150,000 square feet. The deal, whose terms were not disclosed, has closed and brings corrugated shipping container and point-of-purchase display production in-house for QPI, a material it had previously sourced externally. The West Bend site becomes a new QPI branch, to be integrated over the coming months.

Why this mattersVertical integration into corrugated removes an external supplier dependency for a regional converter, a pattern smaller packaging groups use to control cost and lead times.

• QPI acquired manufacturing equipment and related operating assets of two Wisconsin Green LLC facilities on Stonebridge Road, West Bend, Wisconsin.
• The two facilities total approximately 150,000 square feet combined.
• Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
• The West Bend site manufactures corrugated shipping containers and point-of-purchase displays.
• QPI now operates two Fond du Lac plants, a St Francis co-packing facility, a Germantown warehouse and the new West Bend location.
• QPI brought on an existing team at West Bend and plans to integrate the operation over coming months.
