Green Bay Packaging acquires Missouri-based box maker

Wisconsin-based Green Bay Packaging Inc. (GBP) has announced its acquisition of SMC Packaging Group, Springfield, Missouri. GBP describes the acquired firm as a producer of custom corrugated boxes, displays, packaging materials and equipment.

SMC Packaging Group, founded in 1972 by Ross Ausburn and Charles Bachus, operates from multiple locations in Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma, says GBP.

“We are excited to unite two well established, family-run businesses,” says Will Kress, board chair and CEO of Green Bay Packaging, which this decade has invested to build a new recycled-content paperboard mill in Green Bay, Wisconsin. That mill consumes several recovered paper grades, including mixed paper and old corrugated containers (OCC).

The acquisition of SMC marks at least the third such transaction this decade for GBP. In 2020, the firm announced it had acquired Third Dimension Inc., Geneva, Ohio, and in 2022 GBP acquired Interstate Packaging Corp., Albert Lea, Minnesota.
