Twinsburg, Ohio – NorthPak Container Corporation today announced that it has completed the acquisition of the packaging distribution assets of Package Supply & Equipment Company located in Cincinnati, Ohio and Nashville, Tennessee.

NorthPak President Mary Dahl explained that the acquisition of PSE’s Cincinnati operation will add to NorthPak’s already significant share of the container distribution market in the Greater Cincinnati area while the Nashville acquisition adds new territory for NorthPak. “In addition, PSE brings several new or expanded product lines to NorthPak that will allow us to offer a greater range of packaging to our existing customers”, said Dahl.

North Pak is a leading distributor of industrial containers and packaging products with headquarters in Twinsburg, Ohio. The company distributes its products to customers of packaging in Ohio, Kentucky, Southern Indiana, West Virginia, Northwestern Pennsylvania and Western New York from its operations in the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Detroit and Louisville areas. Additionally, through its SouthPak subsidiary, the company distributes its products across the Southeast and Southwest from its operations in the Dallas, Houston, Little Rock and Atlanta areas.

Package Supply & Equipment Company, Inc. is a distributor of packaging products with headquarters in Greenville, South Carolina. Following the acquisition by NorthPak of the company’s Cincinnati and Nashville locations, PSE will continue to service its customers throughout the Southeast from its Greenville headquarters as well as locations in Charlotte, North Carolina and Atlanta, Georgia.

Customers of PSE located in Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee should continue to place their orders with their existing contacts at the Cincinnati and Nashville locations. Although NorthPak and PSE anticipate a smooth transition, representatives of both companies will advise customers individually should there be any changes they need to be aware of as a result of the acquisition.
