Inovar acquires Kiliper Corporation

Inovar Packaging Group has acquired Kiliper Corporation, a Midwest-based producer of stretch sleeves, roll-fed labels and printed film, broadening its product portfolio and regional manufacturing footprint.

Kiliper is a second-generation, family-owned wide-web printing and converting business serving short-to-medium-run regional and national customers across food and beverage, household chemical, pet food, industrial and janitorial/sanitation markets. Siblings Tom Kiliper and Lindsay Maysent, who own and operate the company, will remain as co-presidents following the acquisition.

'Kiliper meaningfully expands our platform into stretch sleeves, roll-fed labels and printed film applications, while complementing our existing manufacturing capabilities,' said Jeff Brezek, CEO of Inovar. 'Just as important, Kiliper brings a strong, values-driven culture centered on customer partnership, quality and long-term relationships.'

'Partnering with Inovar allows us to continue to build on that foundation, broaden our offerings, and deliver exceptional value to our customers,' added Tom Kiliper and Lindsay Maysent, co-presidents of Kiliper Corporation.

The acquisition is part of Inovar's broader strategic growth plan to expand its national platform and invest in differentiated labeling and packaging technologies.
