SUNMAN, IN (PRWEB) JUNE 20, 2017

Deufol North America is pleased to announce the acquisition, of three city operations – Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati, from Bentley World-Packaging. This investment represents a major commitment to Deufol’s global industrial packaging presence, expanding our US footprint to better serve major industrial clients as well as the rapidly developing US export market. The acquisitions nearly triples Deufol’s North America Industrial presence, while adding key geographic locations to the Charlotte market already served. Frank Chaiken, Emma Off and their team at Thompson Hine LLP provided buy-side legal advice.

As part of this transaction, Bentley World-Packaging will retain its headquarters in Milwaukee and will continue to own and operate sites in Wisconsin and Maryland.

Bill Morgan, President of Deufol North America operations said, “We expect that our ‘continuous improvement’ culture, broad engineering expertise and global reach will be the foundation for exceptional customer service. As a global company, Deufol has developed numerous proprietary processes to ensure the security of client’s products, as we continuously improve procedures to more effectively serve our clients.”

Dennis Huebner, Executive Director and Member of the Board of Deufol SE Group said, “This strategic acquisition in the US underlines our strategy and commitment to further expand our service portfolio in a market that is on the move to reindustrialize itself. We are welcoming our new locations and talented colleagues to the Deufol family and are excited to continue to further develop our international network to enhance our support for our international customer base. This strategic move will further assist us in tackling the continuously increasing global supply chain challenges our customers are facing.”

Deufol’s prestigious client base includes some of the largest industrial manufacturers in the world who rely on the ability to solve their most difficult packaging and supply chain challenges in a cost-effective manner.

We expect that each of the acquired city locations will continue to provide excellent client service, while further enhancing the client experience.
