Shorr Packaging Corp., with corporate headquarters in Aurora, and national locations and distribution centers nationwide, announced recently the acquisition of Mack Paper Co., a packaging supply company in Rockford, IL, effective November 30, 2015.
With the purchase of Mack Paper, Shorr is able to better serve its customers, through an expanded market within the Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin regions, building and strengthening market position and enabling expansion of additional strategic opportunities.
"The team at Mack Paper has served their customers in a manner similar to how we serve our customers, providing a high level of service, resulting in an extremely satisfied customer," said Craig Funkhouser, Shorr's President and COO. "We feel confident that we will be able to provide the Mack customer base with an expanded spectrum of products and services."
Mack Paper has been family owned and operated for over 60 years and is currently managed by second generation, Steve, Greg, and Mike McIntosh. They have a similar philosophy of "listening and serving" their customers. Due to the shared interest in upholding these values, the family will remain part of the industrial and manufacturing packaging industries working with Shorr going forward.
Shorr will continue to provide Mack's customers with the same level of quality service. In addition, they will offer innovative packaging solutions beyond their current lineup of strapping, surface protection, custom corrugated, and pallet unitization.
