Menasha Acquires Rand Diversified

Menasha Packaging Company, Neenah, WI, has acquired Rand Diversified for an undisclosed amount. Both companies are privately held.

Menasha will use Rand to increase “geographic coverage with the addition of East Coast fulfillment and contract packaging,” Menasha president Mike Waite said in a statement.

The move brings the number of Menasha’s fulfillment operations to 16. The acquisition includes Rand’s Edwardsville, IL, and Tobyhanna, PA, locations; all of Rand's facilities will remain open. Rand is headquartered in Edison, NJ, where it also has a design office and fulfillment center.

“The Rand acquisition,” said Jim Kotek, chief executive officer of Menasha Corp., “broadens our market penetration and increases our offerings in the areas of contract packaging and fulfillment for over-the-counter pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods companies.” Menasha Corp. is the parent of Menasha Packaging; its other businesses are ORBIS Corp. and LeveragePoint Media.
