Return To Normalcy: Economy Continues Recovery Post-COVID BY PHILIP PERRY Relief is in sight. Battered by the pandemic and scrambling to shore up finances, businesses can look forward to an easing of the pain over the next 12 months. Economists anticipate a gradual but noticeable recov- ery fueled by a surge in corporate profits, a strong housing market, and the successful roll out of a vaccine.

SupplyOne Acquires Riverside Paper Co.

Newtown Square, Pennsylvania based Sup- plyOne, Inc., a consolidator of specialty pack- aging manufacturers, packaging equipment and supply distributors, announced that it has acquired Riverside Paper Co., Inc., a privately held business in Miami, Florida. Founded in 1973, Riverside Paper Co. Inc. is a family-owned corrugated manufacturer and packaging distributor that has earned distinction as a premier industrial packaging manufacturer, converter, and distributor in South Florida. In addition to custom corrugat- ed and die-cut corrugated products, the com- pany provides a comprehensive selection of shipping, packaging, warehouse, and mainte- nance products to its customers with next-day delivery and shipping from Distribution Cen- ters in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando. Riverside also sells and services packaging equipment throughout the state of Florida. SupplyOne entered the Florida market- place in 2012 with the acquisition of Melco, Inc., in Tampa, and has increased its footprint within the state. The acquisition of Riverside Paper is SupplyOne’s second in Miami. The company acquired GTI Industries, Inc. in 2019.

“The COVID-19 recession is over, and the economy is currently in an early-cycle expansion,” says Sophia Koropeckyj, Managing Director of Industry Economics at Moody’s Analytics, a research firm based in West Chester, Pennsylvania. ( economy.com ). The healthier the economy, the better for business profits. And Moody’s expects the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to increase at a four percent clip for 2021. That’s a welcome rebound from the pre- vious year’s decline, expected to come in at four percent when figures are finally tallied. (The GDP, the total of the nation’s goods and services, is the most commonly accepted measure of economic growth.) Faster economic growth, says Moody’s, should in turn help boost corporate profits by an expected 17.1 percent in 2021--a dramatic turn- around from the 13.8 percent decline of the past 12 months, and reason for optimism about a return to the aggressive capital expenditures so critical to an economic rebound. Slow And Steady For most businesses, the return to normal should be gradual. During The economy is currently in an early-cycle expansion, according to the Man- aging Director of Industry Economics at Moody’s Analytics.

Golden West Packaging Acquires Two Produce Packagers In CA Golden West Packaging Group, a West Coast special- ty packaging business, announced it has acquired Berry Pack and Progressive Packaging Group, two independent, California based fresh produce packaging and distribution providers with operations in California, Arizona and north- ern Mexico. Berry Pack, based in Salinas, California, provides branded, hand-fold, custom-design, field-ready packaging systems including primary, secondary, and tertiary pack- aging. The business converts 350-million-square-feet of corrugated sheets annually through WestCorr, its facility in Oxnard, California. In addition, Berry Pack operates four assembly and distribution operations, with two located in Oxnard and one each in Santa Maria, California, and Wat-

sonville, California. Distribution operations include plan- ning, warehousing, inventory management, logistics and execution. Progressive Packaging Group, also based in Salinas, provides corrugated packaging, flexible packaging, ties and bands. In addition, the business operates four assem- bly and distribution operations located in Salinas, Oxnard, Santa Maria, California, and Yuma, Arizona. Services in- clude item forecast and usage management, research and development, project management, direct shipment track- ing, real-time inventory management, customized report- ing, on-time delivery, short haul deliveries, end-of-season transfers, and storage. Commenting on the acquisition, Golden West Presi- dent Brad Jordan said, “Golden West focuses on acquiring well-established packaging businesses and further devel- oping them into high-performing partners to their custom- ers. Berry Pack and Progressive Packaging Group are ex- cellent examples of this strategy.”

Berry Pack and Progressive Packaging Group founder Barry Johnston said, “This is an exciting development for our customers and employees. Joining Golden West will enable Berry Pack and Progressive Packag- ing Group to invest in, enhance, and accel- erate our customer experience.” Progressive Packaging Group co-found- er Eli Riddle added, “Our customers have come to expect that we listen, understand, and respond to their unique needs. Golden West understands this and has their own track record of investing in and further de- veloping great customer service systems and teams. This is a very positive develop- ment for our customers.” This is Golden West’s fourth acquisition, following its February 2017 acquisition of five northern California-based packaging providers (Capital Corrugated, Heritage Solutions, Packaging Innovators, Package One, and Cal Sheets), its February 2018 ac- quisition of southern California based Fleet- wood-Fibre Packaging & Graphics, and its March 2019 acquisition of Washington State-based Allpak Container. Golden West was founded in 2017 by Lindsay Goldberg in partnership with Ste- ven Klinger, Steve Strickland, and Craig Hunt, who have worked together for more than three decades building high-perfor- mance packaging businesses. The execu- tives are also involved with Lindsay Gold- berg’s investments in Crown Paper Group and specialty papers manufacturer Pixelle Specialty Solutions, and were previously senior executives with Smurfit Stone Con- tainer, Georgia-Pacific, and Unisource.

40 ft of paper travel from preheater to hot plates 3 seconds of heat, glue and bonding 1 chance to get it right! the ZONE

Design & Production

Chicago Electric offers 10 technology solutions to control ‘the Zone’ CORRUGATOR Sectoral preheating plate

Our sectoral preheating plates provide direct heat by means of a double steam circuit, allowing for efficient heating in hard-to-access locations, as well as to act as a steam shower to open the paper’s fibre, making it receptive to absorbing the heat and the glue.

This translates into increased speed and improved quality of the cardboard sheet finish.

The system’s main advantages are as follows:

• The plate may only be used to heat, only to humidify, or both options at the same time. • The plate is sectored, which allows for applying humidity to the sections. • It provides temperature in previously inaccessible locations and near the location needed. • It compensates the loss of temperature dissipated due to distance, speed or limitations of the exiting preheaters. • Quick transferring of heat to the paper. • The combination of the hot plate and steam shower allows for providing heat even to the hardest papers to heat. • Does not dry out the paper. • Possibility of operating as a humidifier and pre-conditioner. • Maintains and improves the fibre’s elasticity. • Acts according to the operator’s needs. • Facilitates the paper’s hygroscopy to absorb the glue and improve rubberising.

calibrations and settings. Bar systems avoid this, but compensate this with the risk of exces- sive glue application. The system contains many wearing parts. Solution The contact roll combines the ad antage of both systems and ensures minimum contact between board and applicator roll. The system uses small pneumatic cylinders in order to achieve a “soft touch.”

ND Paper To ‘Transform’ ME Mill, Expand Packaging Grades Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois based ND Paper reported that it is implementing a series of transformations at its Rumford Division in Maine to further expand into packaging grades. In its current configuration, the fully integrated Rumford Division operates three paper production lines, kraft and mechanical pulping assets, and a pulp dryer; its product mix is heavily weighted toward bleached grades serving printing and writing (P&W) markets. With the COVID-19 pandemic battering economic activity across the world, demand for P&W papers has plummeted; coated wood- free and coated mechanical papers – primary Rumford grades – are expected to decline 23.5 percent and 30.3 percent year-over-year, respectively, equivalent to over 1.4 million tons of output. To ensure a viable, profitable future for the Rumford Di- vision, ND Paper will be transforming the mill to increase its product flexibility and shift further into packaging grades: • Commissioning of an unbleached recycled pulp line to provide fiber flexibility to the R12 and R15 paper ma- chines • Conversion of its R15 paper machine from P&W papers into lightweight, high strength kraft linerboard products • Expansion of R12 paper machine capability to include unbleached recycled bag and converting papers, in

addition to its current offering of bleached and un- bleached papers • Continued operation of the R9 pulp dryer, including expansion into unbleached softwood kraft market pulp • Permanent curtailment of mechanical pulping opera- tions and R15 coating and supercalender assets The newly rebuilt R10 paper machine will continue to deliver high-quality P&W and Specialty products for ND Paper’s base of existing customers. Oxford C1S, Orion, Vi- sion, Escanaba, and Dependoweb grades currently pro- duced on R15 will be transitioned to the R10 and Biron B26 assets, minimizing disruption to loyal customers. Addition- ally, the R12 machine, with both bleached and unbleached capability, will manufacture Rumford Offset, as well as re- cycled and kraft papers for multi-wall bags, retail bags, and converting applications. “The onset of this unprecedented demand decline happened much more quickly than could possibly be an- ticipated,” said Group Deputy Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Ken Liu. “However, while other mills have exited the market and closed their doors, ND Paper is repurpos- ing the Rumford Division for a competitive future. Moving our largest Rumford machine into packaging grades helps to balance the deteriorating P&W market in North America, while simultaneously positioning us into bigger and more stable packaging paper markets.” ND Paper expects the transformation to be completed by the end of 2020.
