With over 25 years of applying robotics to solve packaging and warehouse automation challenges, Flexicell developed industry leading technical expertise and a diversified customer base. Its Ashland, VA, facility will expand Pearson’s manufacturing footprint and provide strategic proximity to key customers and markets. Recognizing Flexicell’s robust brand equity and established customer relationships, the newly acquired company will continue to operate under its own brand name.
Over the past decade, Pearson Packaging Systems experienced strong double-digit growth year over year – the result of its adoption of robotics for pack and palletizing projects and the development of full systems integration capabilities. “The acquisition of Flexicell reinforces our commitment to the application of robotics throughout the entire end-of-line automation process,” states Michael Senske, President and CEO of Pearson Packaging Systems. He continues, “Our combined technical expertise, management resources, and financial strength will enable us to take on more projects with increased complexity and provide greater value in the marketplace.”
