ST. LOUIS—TricorBraun has acquired Continental Packaging Associates (CPA), a third-generation, family-owned packaging supplier, according to TricorBraun president and chief executive officer Keith Strope.

Continental Packaging Associate president and chief executive officer Alan Feldman says that TricorBraun’s expansive resources were a key consideration in the acquisition.
“Our customers are the real winners in our joining TricorBraun,” he notes. “We’re excited about becoming part of a smart, savvy organization with global capabilities.”
Adds Strope: ”We see tremendous opportunity to continue our leadership position in the packaging industry.”
Strope says that TricorBraun will continue to pursue both acquisitions and organic growth.
“Bobby Sood, who is joining TricorBraun as senior vice-president of mergers and acquisitions, will work closely with me in these endeavors,” he says.
