SupplyOne Inc., a leading distributor of custom corrugated and packaging solutions based in Newton Square, Pennsylvania, has acquired Lamb & Associates Packaging Inc. of Maumelle.
Lamb & Associates is the largest independently-owned corrugated sheet plant in the state of Arkansas, headquartered in Maumelle with an additional facility in Springdale.
Founded in 1981 by former college football national champion and Arkansas Razorbacks legend Jerry Lamb, the company is now led by Jerry’s son and daughter, Kyle Lamb and Laurie Whitfield.
The company has a portfolio of products and capabilities that align with SupplyOne’s existing offerings, including corrugated, die-cut, and litho-laminated boxes, point-of-purchase displays, specialty glued items, and turnkey distribution solutions including just-in-time delivery and inventory management.
Lamb & Associates Packaging also offers advanced digital printing options to its customers through a state-of-the-art EFI Nozomi digital printer. The acquisition will help SupplyOne more efficiently and quickly produce larger run digitally printed corrugated packaging.
“The focus of LAP has always been on innovation, insightful packaging solutions, and a customer-first culture,” Kyle Lamb, president of Lamb & Associates Packaging, said in a press release. “Joining forces with SupplyOne gives us access to greater resources and a national reach to better assist our customers, while maintaining the quality of service our team has built over four decades.”
This acquisition represents the 45th addition to the SupplyOne portfolio, with the company aiming to expand its manufacturing base and service network across North America.
The combining of Lamb & Associates Packaging’s distribution, manufacturing and advanced digital printing capabilities with SupplyOne aims to enhance their platform of corrugated products, digitally printed packaging and value-added services.
“The acquisition of Lamb & Associates Packaging further advances our strategic growth,” Todd Renehan, president and CEO of SupplyOne, said in a press release. “With their excellent manufacturing foundation and digital printing capabilities, we strengthen our ability to deliver customized, high-impact packaging solutions across North America. We are pleased to welcome the dedicated team of Lamb & Associates Packaging to SupplyOne.”
