On April 24, Chicago-based Flexpak LLC — a distributor and supplier of packaging supplies — announced that it completed the acquisition of select assets in St. George, Utah.

The company said the acquisition establishes a new Flexpak branch location to distribute packaging supplies, including corrugate, stretch film, poly bags, bubble mailers and foam products to a variety of customer end markets including food, electronics and industrial manufacturing.

Flexpak previously served the Mountain West region through locations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix and Denver, the company said.

“The new St. George location further expands Flexpak’s market coverage with a strategic location in southern Utah,” Flexpak said in its announcement.

The company also announced that Doug Bardsley will join Flexpak and lead the new branch.

“We are thrilled to welcome Doug Bardsley and the rest of the team into the Flexpak family,” said Flexpak CEO Brian Kellen. “Doug’s relationships and a new local presence in the St. George area will allow Flexpak to better serve the Southern Utah and Nevada markets. We look forward to bringing Flexpak’s specialized capabilities, comprehensive product offering and world-class service to customers throughout the St. George and Las Vegas metro areas.”
