Algoma, Wis., November 1, 2007—WS Packaging Group Inc. has signed a definitive agreement to purchase SenecaSalem Inc..

“Having SenecaSalem as part of WS’ future is a great win for all of us,” said Terry Fulwiler, chief executive officer. “Adding their superior knowledge of flexible film and their other capabilities to our product offering strengthens our strategic initiatives to be the ‘single source’ for all our customers’ printing and packaging needs.”

Combining the capabilities of our two companies creates a powerful resource for all of our customers.”
