Murry Pitts, President and CEO of Carded Graphics says, “This partnership has been in discussion for several years and the time has come to leverage the growing relationship we have developed with ÅR Packaging Group to increase our global footprint. Consequently, both companies are committed to and embrace the opportunities in the marketplaces where we have been somewhat limited based on geographical boundaries. This relationship will further strengthen our presence and combine offerings to our packaging customers. Our overall core values and synergies are a true complement to our business practices and we are pleased to join in with ÅR Packaging Group in this sustainable business strategy”.
Harald Schulz, President and CEO of ÅR Packaging said, “With Carded Graphics as a reliable partner on our side we are able to establish the global footprint that is key to the continued positive performance of our business. I´m sure that our synergies will allow both of us to enlarge markets and customers relationships on an enduring basis.’’
