Action and Signature specialise in printing, conversion and supply of roll stock, pouches, and bags for flexible food and consumer packaging applications.
The two companies operate three facilities in three Californian cities, including Carson, City of Industry, and Commerce.
H.I.G. managing director Ryan Kaplan said: “We believe the combination of Action and Signature represents an ideal opportunity to create a premier flexible packaging platform at a time when market tailwinds such as changing consumer preferences (e.g., convenience, on-the-go consumption) and shifts to lower-cost packaging should continue to drive growth.
“We look forward to supporting Howard, Adrian, Federico, and their respective management teams as they continue to broaden their customer base, product offering, geographic reach, and service capabilities through the company’s next exciting phase of organic and inorganic growth.”
