Case Paper has acquired the assets of the former API Laminating operation of Steel Partners in Osgood, Indiana. The deal closed on April 1, 2020 and the General Manager of the facility, Jonathan Hummer, as well as most of the office and plant employees have joined the Case family under the new name “Case Makes.”
“Prior to the acquisition this site had become our most reliable partner in terms of communication and quality. This is a true testament to the employees and processes they currently have in place, and the reason why this is a perfect fit for Case Paper and our long-term vision to consistently add value to customers through inventories, converting equipment, locations, and people. Additionally, it allows us to vertically integrate, control our supply chain and improve our response time,” said Robin Schaffer, President and CEO at Case Paper.
Thomas McDonough, General Manager of Philadelphia & Corporate Operations at Case Paper, added, “Working with Indiana’s state and local officials to bring Case Paper to Indiana has been an excellent experience, which complimented the appeal of Osgood’s strategic location, capabilities and experienced workforce. Osgood, Indiana is strategically located in close proximity to Cincinnati, Ohio, Louisville, Kentucky and Indianapolis, Indiana, and as a leader in laminating and coating,
Case Makes’ 117,000-sq-ft operation perfectly complements and adds to Case Paper’s six national converting and distribution facilities.”
