Calabasas Capital, a boutique investment banking firm (a dba of Fallbrook Capital, member FINRA/SIPC), announced that its client, Berkley Industries, has completed the successful acquisition of the assets of Sisco Corporation.
With locations in Arkansas and Southern California, Berkley is a family-owned, national integrated provider of packaging and display design and manufacturing as well as logistics services. Berkley has a state-of-the art creative design center in Rogers, Arkansas, a warehouse in Lowell, Arkansas and a design and sales office in Lakewood, California (see https://www.goberkley.com/). Based in Nashville, Illinois, Sisco is a family-owned corrugated manufacturer.
“This acquisition marks a significant milestone in Berkley’s continued growth and commitment to serving our customers’ needs with enhanced capabilities,” states Eric Berkley, CEO.
Established 50 years ago, Sisco Corp has built a strong reputation for manufacturing high-quality corrugated boxes and displays. “By integrating Sisco’s manufacturing equipment and expertise into Berkley, we are significantly expanding our in-house production capabilities, enabling us to better meet the diverse needs of our customers,” adds Berkley.
“The addition of Sisco’s manufacturing capabilities enhances our ability to provide top-tier packaging solutions more efficiently. This acquisition not only strengthens our product offerings but also ensures we continue to deliver the exceptional service our customers have come to expect,” concludes Berkley. “We are thrilled to welcome Sisco Corp to the Berkley team. Their dedication to quality and community mirrors our own values, making this a natural and exciting fit. We look forward to leveraging their expertise and equipment to better serve our customers and continue our history of growth.”
David Bonrouhi, co-founder and Managing Director of Calabasas Capital said, “We are thrilled to have had the opportunity to once again work with the impressive team at Berkley on important strategic initiatives including mergers and acquisitions. A couple of years ago, we were fortunate to have represented Berkley in the sale of its molded fiber business to International Paper. This transaction also further demonstrates the deep domain expertise Calabasas Capital enjoys in the packaging sector where we have completed several M&A transactions over the past few years.” Andrew Williamson, Managing Director of Calabasas Capital added, “Berkley is one of the “Go-To” names in packaging for high growth consumer brands and this acquisition adds another building block to take it to the next level.”
