Doug Kopp, Kopco chairman and founder, said: ‘Having known Jerry Parish for over 20 years and having worked with Techpak on various projects during that time, I am very excited that Kopco is able to offer the converting and management expertise of both companies to our current and future customers. Since 1984 Techpak has provided a high level of unique, quality flexible packaging products. We are pleased to be able to offer our customers a broader range of products for their packaging requirements through this acquisition.’

Jerry Parish, president of Techpak, said: ‘We’re pleased with this acquisition as the additional purchasing and sales power will allow us to expand our marketing agenda both domestically and internationally.’
