Shillington Box Company LLC (“SBC”
or the “Company”) is a designer, manufacturer and marketer
of corrugated packaging materials including sheets, shipping containers
and displays. SBC maintains a 52,000 square foot manufacturing facility
and an 85,000 square foot finished-goods warehouse located in St.
Louis, Missouri. The Company’s clients come from a variety
of industries, including the food, chemical, automotive, plastics
and paper sectors, geographically concentrated around St. Louis
and extending outward to include a four-state Midwest marketing
area. By utilizing its own CAD/CAM design lab, SBC is able to provide
a unique, differentiated service for its clients, which gives the
Company a strong advantage relative to other independent manufacturers
in the sector.
The corrugated packaging manufacturing process is one of combining
multiple plies of kraft paper into custom-sized sheets then further
processing the sheets into finished packaging material. The material
produced ranges from 9 inches to 140 inches and can be of either
singlewall or doublewall construction, depending on the requirements
of the customer. SBC manages an active inventory of paper grades
ranging from 23# medium to 69# liners. This affords a complete coverage
of all the certified box performance standards used in the industry.
Prior to the purchase by Forest Resources, SBC operated as an independent
corrugated manufacturer for 96 years. The acquisition of the Company
by Forest Resources aligned the Company with Hartford City Paper
(“HCP”) in a vertical integration between HCP’s
kraft paper manufacturing and SBC’s downstream corrugated
packaging manufacturing. |
