Kohlberg & Company Acquires Nelipak Healthcare Packaging

The business will continue to operate under the name of Nelipak Healthcare Packaging.

Nelipak Corporation Inc., the leading provider of custom designed rigid packaging for the medical device and pharmaceutical industries, announced today that it has been acquired by Kohlberg & Company L.L.C., a private equity firm headquartered in Mount Kisco, N.Y., from Mason Wells. The business will continue to operate under the name of Nelipak Healthcare Packaging.  
 
Headquartered in Cranston, R.I., Nelipak is the leading global manufacturer of custom-designed rigid healthcare packaging used for Class II and Class III medical devices, and pharma drug delivery products. The company operates strategically located cleanroom facilities meeting customers’ most stringent packaging requirements. Nelipaks’ experienced in-house design, development, prototyping, manufacturing, and quality teams offer medical trays and blisters, surgical procedure trays, pharmaceutical handling trays, custom built sealing machines, and other value-added services. With a staff of over 800, the company operates from seven production facilities, five in the Americas—located in Cranston, R.I.; Whitehall, Pa.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Humacao, Puerto Rico; San Jose, Costa Rica; and two in Europe—located in Venray, the Netherlands and Galway, Ireland.
 
“We have accomplished a lot at Nelipak during the past six years, and we are very grateful for the support given to us by Mason Wells. Our future is very bright with Kohlberg,” said Mike Kelly, president and CEO of Nelipak. “Kohlberg is committed to investing in Nelipak to make us an even stronger organization with additional capabilities to offer our customers around the world. With our global locations, world class design team, modern cleanroom manufacturing, strong sales organization, and experienced management team, Nelipak is well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities in the market.”
 
“Nelipak has successfully transformed itself into a leading global player in healthcare packaging and an ideal platform for further industry consolidation,” commented Seth H. Hollander, partner of Kohlberg. “Our plans include leveraging Mike, his team, and their customer relationships, with sizeable, global acquisitions.” Roger Prevot, operating partner of Kohlberg, added, “A business with Nelipak’s global market position represents a unique investment opportunity. We look forward to supporting Mike and his team as they continue to execute their plan for organic and M&A-driven growth, while continuing to provide their customers with best-in-class service.”
