Marcal Paper, a family owned manufacturer of recycled and eco-friendly bath, towel and tissue products, said Friday it has acquired von Drehle Corp. of Hickory.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Von Drehle, founded in 1974 and family owned, is a provider of quality towel and tissue products for the away-from-home market. It will operate as a division of Marcal.
Von Drehle has more than 500 employees in production facilities in the Southeast and Las Vegas. Marcal, founded in 1932 and based in Elmwood Park, N.J., now has more than 900 employees.
Marcal said the purchase “provides customers with a broad product range and enhanced scale, expanding Marcal’s footprint to service customers all along the East Coast and across the country.”
Randy Bergman, former chief executive of von Drehle, said the sale “provides a stable path forward for von Drehle where our talented team members can thrive, and our customers will be even better served as part of Marcal.”
