Amherst Advises on Sale of PaperTech

Amherst Partners, LLC (“Amherst”) is pleased to announce the sale of Pressed Paperboard Technologies, LLC (“PaperTech” or the “Company”) to May River Capital (“May River”). Amherst acted as the exclusive financial advisor to PaperTech in connection with the transaction.

About PaperTech

Founded in 1999, Bingham Farms, Michigan-based PaperTech is a privately-held business that has evolved into a leading provider of sustainable paperboard packaging solutions to blue-chip customers, including international food brands, contract food packagers, food service operations, as well as commercial bakeries, quick-serve restaurants, and “take-and-bake” pizza companies.

Over its history, PaperTech has maintained a rigorous focus on innovation, value, service, and quality, producing over 500 million eco-friendly trays annually. The Company’s products are made from renewable materials and provide customers with economical and sustainable packaging solutions.

About the Transaction

The Company’s founders engaged Amherst Partners to conduct a sale of the business. Amherst’s efforts were focused on finding a well-positioned partner capable of supporting further expansion of the business and capitalize on the market opportunities arising from a consumer shift away from single-use plastic packing to more renewable, 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 May River, a firm with deep industrial sector experience and a track record of helping high-growth businesses reach new levels of success.
