SupplyOne, a distributor of custom corrugated and value-added packaging solutions in North America, has expanded its presence in the Midwest through the acquisition of Lamb & Associates Packaging, a packaging manufacturer based in Arkansas. The acquisition supports SupplyOne’s growth strategy and adds substantial manufacturing and digital printing capabilities to its portfolio.
Lamb & Associates Packaging was founded in 1981 by former Arkansas Razorbacks football national champion Jerry Lamb and has grown into the largest independently owned corrugated sheet plant in Arkansas. The company operates from its headquarters in Maumelle with an additional facility in Springdale. Now led by siblings Kyle Lamb and Laurie Whitfield, the company offers corrugated, die-cut, and litho-laminated boxes, point-of-purchase displays, specialty glued products, and distribution services that include inventory management and just-in-time delivery.
In addition to its manufacturing capabilities, Lamb & Associates Packaging has invested in advanced digital printing technology, including the use of an EFI Nozomi digital printer. This capability will integrate into SupplyOne Digital, allowing the combined business to expand its ability to produce larger runs of digitally printed corrugated packaging with greater speed and efficiency.
The acquisition represents the 45th addition to SupplyOne’s portfolio as the company continues to expand its manufacturing base and service network across North America. SupplyOne’s national scale combined with Lamb & Associates Packaging’s production capabilities and digital printing technology enhances the combined platform for corrugated products, digitally printed packaging, and value-added services.
SupplyOne operates more than 60 locations across the United States and Canada, providing customized packaging, materials, equipment, and supply chain optimization solutions to businesses of various sizes and industries.
