This is Mac Papers’ largest acquisition to date outside of its printing paper business, signifying the company’s commitment to diversifying its core business offering and becoming a key player in packaging distribution.
“While we aim to be the most valued and respected paper distributor, we’re diversifying our core business to be sustainable in a declining paper market. This strategic acquisition underscores our commitment to becoming a bigger player in the packaging industry by combining our strong product and distribution expertise with Alles’ geographical footprint and increased scope of services,” said Sutton McGehee, Chairman and CEO of Mac Papers.
The Alles footprint includes offices and distribution centers in Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville, FL, as well as Louisville, KY, a new location that furthers Mac Papers’ footprint across the Southeast. Alles will continue operations out of its facilities for the first 30-60 days, until it moves into Mac Papers warehouse locations in those regions. The Louisville facility will continue to operate as is.
Mac Papers is one of the largest wholesale distributors in the Southeast U.S. The company operates 22 branch locations and 18 Mini Mac retail stores across nine states in the Southeast.
