About Century Box, Inc.

Founded in 1978, Methuen, Massachusetts-based Century Box is a provider of folding cartons for store-brand food and consumer products. With its short-run capabilities and specialized / unique product offering, Century Box serves as a value-added partner for customers with complex packaging and service requirements across a broad array of industry sectors. The Company offers comprehensive printing, converting, and finishing capabilities across a range of paperboard grades, with a particular focus on the replacement of single-use plastic packaging with high-visibility, recycled paperboard packaging.

About the Transaction

The Company’s founding family engaged Amherst Partners to conduct a sale of the business. Amherst’s efforts focused on finding a well-positioned partner capable of supporting further expansion of the business, including capitalizing on the market opportunities arising from a consumer shift away from single-use plastic packaging to more sustainable materials.

Amherst managed a comprehensive search which generated significant interest from both strategic and private equity partners. Ultimately, the Company elected to pursue a transaction with CORE Industrial Partners.

O’Connor Law Office, P.C. and Ropes & Gray LLP served as legal counsel to Century Box.
