Innovative Packaging Solutions (IPS) is a full-service provider of turnkey corrugated packaging solutions based in York, PA. The Company offers a full suite of packaging capabilities, including die/cut production, high-end design and sales solutions, reels and spools manufacturing, and fulfillment services for the retail, e-commerce, promotional, and industrial end markets.
The owners of IPS were seeking the right partner for growth and succession planning and engaged SC&H Capital to design and lead a process to explore a potential sale. SC&H ran a competitive process to help IPS identify the perfect partner that not only valued the unique culture and talented team they had built but also achieved each of the partners’ goals.
During the marketing process, Welch emerged as a strong strategic and cultural fit for IPS. SC&H led negotiations and managed the due diligence process to ensure a successful outcome. Ultimately, the acquisition of IPS signals Welch’s commitment to increasing production capacity and expanding its geographic footprint. With the backing of Welch’s strong organization and deep network of sheet plants, packaging supplies, and sheet feeders, IPS will be well-positioned to pursue several growth opportunities moving forward.
