Little Rapids unifies paper brands under single division
Little Rapids Corporation has consolidated Shawano Specialty Papers and Nexxa into one entity, now operating as Rapids Paper + Packaging.
This newly combined division will remain part of the family-owned Little Rapids, a company with more than 100 years of experience in speciality paper and flexible packaging.
The merger is intended to integrate capabilities in speciality paper, flexible packaging, printing, and coating technologies, bringing them together under a single structure.
According to the company, this alignment is designed to create a more coordinated approach to product development and delivery.
Rapids Paper + Packaging will target environmentally conscious practices by focusing on fibre sourcing, water management, waste reduction, and coatings that can help reduce plastic consumption and address recyclability requirements.
Among its offerings is Ecova, described by the company as a paper-based packaging solution aimed at helping customers use less plastic.
Operations in Green Bay and Shawano, Wisconsin, will continue unchanged, with local teams responsible for technical services and customer support.
The company said that existing customer relationships and its operational footprint will be maintained as part of this transition.
Little Rapids CEO Angie Sheehan said: “This alignment allows us to unlock new possibilities in performance and sustainability.
“As brands face increasing pressure to reduce plastic use and meet evolving environmental expectations, bringing our expertise together creates a stronger foundation to help them move faster, solve complex challenges, and deliver responsible packaging.”
"Little Rapids unifies paper brands under single division" was originally created and published by Packaging Gateway, a GlobalData owned brand.
