The Visual Pak Companies will acquire two companies to expand its services offerings. The first acquisition involves West Coast contract Cosmetic Labs of America (CLA), a packaging company producing formulas and packages within the personal care and cosmetic industries, from Unilever. The second acquisition is Hexagon Packaging Corporation, which specializes in consumer and industrial cleaning products, chemical processing and filling services. Oscar Saldarriaga, General Manager of CLA, will join The Visual Pak Companies continuing to lead and manage CLA business activities.

“At a time when many of our competitors are struggling or looking to downsize, we are aggressively looking to grow both organically and through acquisitions to strengthen our company,” said Clayton Bolke, CEO, The Visual Pak Companies. “These acquisitions enhance both our product offering and our geographic footprint to better serve existing and new customers.”

“This is a synergistic acquisition that will benefit both companies’ growth plans,” said Saldarriaga. “Combining Visual Pak’s vertically integrated packaging service offering with CLA’s strengths in product development and custom packaging will have an immediate and long term benefit to customer’s growth plans.”
