Wrap Pack, located in Yakima, Washington, produces fruit and vegetable specialty-tissue protective wrap for storing and shipping pears, apples and citrus fruit. The acquisition strengthens Tekni-Plex’s offerings to food and beverage industry customers as the company adds to its tray and flat portfolio. “Once again we have added an incredible resource to the Tekni-Plex family,” Eldon Schaffer, CEO of Tekni-Plex Consumer Products division. “Keyes brings market intelligence and a deep material science application knowledge to us, as we continue on our journey to becoming more and more proactive for our customers.” “Adding Keyes to the Tekni-Plex Consumer Products family also gives us a boost in our overall efforts toward providing additional sustainable solutions to our customers. Together with the recently acquired Grupo Phoenix capabilities, our existing Tekni-Plex organization and now with Keyes, we are building a tremendous future for the market, our customers and our employees” Schaffer continued. Finally, the demand for molded fiber packaging products is expected to rise with increasing consumer pressure demand for more environmentally friendly packaging solutions. “We are excited to join a company focused on creating next-generation solutions for the market and the opportunities this provides Keyes Packaging employees and customer partners,” said Kevin Stangeland, CEO.
