Private equity investment firm Brixey and Meyer Capital (BMC), along with its affiliated entities, has purchased US-based Patriot Converting for an undisclosed amount.

Established in 2003, Patriot offers custom paper converting and logistical solutions to customers in the paper packaging industry.

The company operates two converting facilities, including one each in Elk River, Minnesota; and Newton, Iowa. It has 63 employees working across the two facilities.

Following this deal, Patriot now intends to focus on expanding its business into new markets and service offerings through acquisitions and organic growth.

BMC managing director David Brixey said: “Patriot has proven to be a strategic partner to their customers, which we will strive to continue and expand under our partnership.”

Patriot Converting founder and CEO Brian Stilwell will retire from his role in the coming months.

Brian said: “Over the past 16 years, Patriot has set out to improve the paper converting gaps and capacity needs, and we began to solve those gaps with significant investments in sheeting, rewinding, warehousing, and logistical solutions.

"Optimising the supply chain has been our continual mission."
