Central National Gottesman Inc. (CNG) announced that its Kelly/Spicers division has acquired Northern California-based American Packaging, further expanding its packaging business throughout the Western U.S.
American Packaging, founded in 1976, is one of the region's leading independent packaging distributors, with a broad portfolio focused on high-growth markets such as medical devices, food processing, pharmaceutical and technology products.
The acquisition of American Packaging strengthens Kelly/Spicers' growing industrial and retail packaging business, which is anchored by Premiere Packaging Industries (PPI) in Southern California.
American Packaging President Kaye Leedham Herning will continue in her leadership role, capitalizing on the strong foundation that she and her team have built since acquiring the business in 1997. The business will continue to operate out of its 72,000-square-foot San Leandro warehouse, strategically located between global tech hub Silicon Valley and the renowned wine region of Napa Valley. It will continue to operate under the American Packaging name until transitioning to Kelly/Spicers later this year.
Central National Gottesman Inc. (CNG) is a $6.8 billion sales and distribution organization that owns businesses in the global pulp, paper, tissue, packaging, wood products and metals industries.
