March 15, 2021: Wellspring Capital Management LLC (“Wellspring”), a New York-based private equity firm, today announced that it has closed the acquisition of Rohrer Corporation. Wellspring is a private equity firm headquartered in New York. Since their founding in 1995, they have invested in many platform investments and add-on acquisitions. This change in ownership is a great opportunity for Rohrer to move forward on many strategic plans to improve our operations.
Steve Wirrig, CEO of Rohrer Corporation, said, “Rohrer Corporation has found an excellent fit with Wellspring. We believe Wellspring shares our vision of delivering innovative retail packaging solutions. This partnership supports the continued growth of our business so we can provide industry-leading packaging solutions for our customers.”
The managing partners at Wellspring have described Rohrer as a “unique business in the retail packaging space given its scale and proficiency in manufacturing both paper and plastic substrates.” The Wellspring team believes Rohrer is well positioned to grow organically, and can become the consolidator of choice in the industry given its prior experience executing and integrating sizeable acquisitions.
Customers should expect a seamless transition. Wellspring intends to keep Rohrer’s existing management team and staff. Wirrig added, “Rohrer will continue to work as true partners to our customers, advancing the business of creating innovative packaging solutions to help you build your brand and bottom line.”
Rohrer believes true partners make the perfect package.
