B2B Industrial Packaging acquires Anasco

B2B Industrial Packaging, a stretch film, steel strapping and strapping tool repair provider, has announced that it has acquired industrial packaging supplier Anasco.

Anasco president Gregg Glader said, “Anasco’s clients will benefit from the acquisition in many ways. For example, they will have a wider product selection and there will be more time for sales executives to focus on them, while maintaining the high level of service that they’ve come to expect from Anasco. Our priority has been a smooth transition. To that end, our clients will notice very little change as far as operations are concerned.”

Anasco has been one of the largest distributors of fastening and packaging systems in the Midwest for 25 years. Like B2B Industrial Packaging, equipment repair is one of Anasco’s specialties. Combining the tool repair resources of both companies will result in one of the largest packaging tool repair facilities in the Midwest.

Vice president of B2B Industrial Packaging Pat Yonkus said, “The Chicago area is the national hub for strapping products and fasteners and Anasco has always played an important role. With similar corporate cultures and two teams of account executives among the most experienced in the industry, this will cement our position as the go-to source for industrial packaging equipment and supplies across the U.S.”

Servicing more than 5,000 active clients, B2B Industrial Packaging sells a full range of packaging equipment and supplies including steel strapping and stretch film to clients primarily in the Central Great Lakes, the Central Plains, California, and Texas.
