Carded Graphics is based in Staunton, Virginia, and represents a, ‘continuation of our strategy to grow in key geographies and end markets,’ said Michael Doss, Graphic Packaging's president and chief operating officer.

‘The addition of this state-of-the-art converting facility increases our east coast presence allowing us to better service new and existing customers in that region, specifically the growing craft beer markets.  We are also pleased to welcome Murry Pitts, president and CEO of Carded Graphics, and his outstanding leadership team to the Graphic Packaging team.’

‘It is the perfect time for the Carded Graphics team to join Graphic Packaging,’ added Pitts. ‘Our employees and customers will truly benefit from this union. Our speed to market philosophy combined with their strong, global position will bring much added value into the paperboard marketplace.’
