“The transaction marks our entry into the important Midwest market and will enable us to expand our product and value-added service offerings across the combined footprint.” 

Following the acquisition, Impressions will function as a sister company to Mill Rock Packaging’s other operations and support its strategy to expand across the US. 

The combined entity will run five converting facilities, which will manufacture high-design paperboard packaging for consumer markets according to their daily requirements.

Impressions CEO Mike Jorgensen said: “Mill Rock is the ideal partner to sustain Impressions’ longstanding commitment to quality, innovation and reliability.

“Our shared vision for future growth will benefit greatly from the additional resources and capability of the broader platform.”

Impressions’ leadership has also made an investment in Mill Rock Packaging.

Alvarez & Marsal and White & Case acted as advisors to Mill Rock Packaging during the transaction, while FINNEA Group advised Impressions.

Last February, Mill Rock Packaging acquired US-based speciality paper packaging company All Packaging for an undisclosed sum.
