The news is out and all have probably heard - three of the packaging industry's most trusted closure manufacturers have joined together to deliver greater value for customers. Through the acquisitions, these companies are now united to provide an expanded product portfolio, multiple manufacturing locations, the benefits of in-house tooling capabilities and outstanding innovation combined with unmatched flexibility and responsiveness.

What can customers expect during the transition? "Expect that you will continue to work with the same packaging experts that you have come to know and trust", promises Brian Bauerbach, President and CEO of Mold-Rite Plastics.  No services or orders will be interrupted at any of the three locations and all employees will remain to ensure a seamless integration. Additionally, the Weatherchem and Stull brands will be retained.

Weatherchem President Jennifer Altstadt notes, "Throughout the organization, there is an uplifting spirit of limitless opportunity." Jason Stull, EVP Sales & Marketing at Stull Technologies agrees, "We are looking forward to combining the enthusiasm and expertise of all three companies to enhance our customers experience."

Together, Mold-Rite, Stull and Weatherchem now offer one of the most diverse product assortments in the packaging industry. Customers can rely on this combined robust portfolio for all their closure needs including:

• Standard CT closures in a multitude of sizes and colors
• Continuous thread closures with easy grip
• More dispensing closure choices: back-hinged flip-tops, top-hinged flip-tops, disk-tops, turret-style, twist-open tops, strap caps, push-pulls
• Child resistant closures
• Expanded liner options
• Jars
• Full range of custom solutions

As the companies make progress toward integrating their expertise, services and products, they want to keep customers updated every step of the way.
