Layfield Group acquires Vision Packaging

-- Converting Magazine, 5/19/2008

Canada’s Layfield Group (www.layfieldgroup.com) has acquired the assets and business operation of Vision Packaging Ltd.

Vision Packaging prints and converts laminated flexible substrates into roll stock and standup pouches, as well as pressure-sensitive labels. It serve customers in food and consumer-product markets.

“This acquisition will allow our two companies to complement each other’s strengths, and offer a complete line of products to various new and existing markets,” says Tom Rose, president/CEO of Layfield Group. “Building on the core competencies of each company enables us to service markets in tandem that we could never have serviced alone.”

Layfield’s Poly Films division manufactures mono-layer and co-extruded film and plastic packaging products. The two organizations now do business as Layfield Vision Packaging.
