SPG said that this acquisition will not affect PPS’ leadership and workforce, who will continue to operate from their present work locations, including Aurora in Colorado and Cincinnati in Ohio.

Colorado-based PPS was founded in 1982 and provides its packaging solutions for a wide range of applications across different industries and end markets.

PPS’ president Tom McNamara said: “Over the last several years, PPS has grown by focusing on highly engineered, custom packaging solutions that save our customers time and money and that utilise the highest quality materials and the latest technology.

“With SPG, we have found a partner that shares our vision and has the resources to accelerate our growth plans in new and existing markets. The PPS team is thrilled to join SPG, and we look forward to taking our combined business to the next level.”
