Aug 16, 2012. /Lesprom Network/. Unisource Worldwide, Inc. has announced that its division Unisource Global Solutions (UGS) has completed the asset acquisition of Pakit Sweden AB, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. “This acquisition builds upon our commitment to be a world leader in providing cutting-edge design, technology, research, manufacturing and ongoing innovation to the packaging industry,” said Al Dragone, CEO of Unisource Worldwide. “It also improves Unisource’s capability to be more responsive to our customer needs in the sustainable packaging area,” he said. The acquisition by Unisource includes the purchase of equipment that uses cellulose fibers to manufacture molded fiber packaging, replacing the use of plastic trays, bottles, containers, carriers and other conventional petroleum-based packaging.
