The acquisition of Connemara Converting’s West Coast operations more than doubles its converting capabilities, adding two new state-of-the-art converting machines plus a slitter/rewinder. All three machines are now housed in Santa Fe Springs.

With more than the 120,000 farmers, growers and packers across the West, Kelly Spicers enters the agricultural packaging business—offering everything from netting, baskets and Kraft wrap to tarps, twines and stretch film.

Kelly Spicers Packaging establishes two key packaging services centers: A Demo Center for customers to test out packaging equipment, and a Design Center, where packaging designers create custom solutions for clients.

Kelly Spicers adds new capabilities, services and geographies with a series of acquisitions, including packaging supplier BJF, legacy paper company Keldon, the Denver office of Lewis Paper and the West Coast operations of Connemara Converting.

Kelly Paper and Spicers Paper combine to become Kelly Spicers, with categories including paper, packaging, wide format, digital, facilities solutions and stores.

Spicers Paper expands its packaging presence in the Northern California region, acquiring American Packaging.

In partnership with Clean Smart Solutions, Kelly Paper increases its offerings of sanitation and janitorial products to meet the COVID19 post-pandemic reality.

Spicers Paper enters the packaging business with two acquisitions: Premiere Packaging and KWW, both based in Southern California.

Kelly becomes an official dealer of HP Latex Wide Format printers, inks and media.

Spicers Paper acquires Northern California-based JC Paper, growing market share in the region, as well as Clean Smart Solutions, a jan-san distributor serving large facilities.
