Our Approach
Building Partnerships That Last
At Field Packaging Solutions, we don’t approach acquisitions as transactions—we approach them as partnerships. With over 80 years of packaging industry expertise and the stability of a self-funded family office, we have the luxury of thinking long-term and building thoughtfully.
Before we discuss numbers or structures, we listen. Every business has its own story, its own strengths, and its own vision for the future. Our approach begins with understanding what makes your company unique, what you’ve built, and what you hope to preserve or grow. Only then can we determine if we’re the right fit for each other.
We’re looking for businesses that align with our platform—companies where our investment, industry knowledge, and operational expertise can create genuine value. We’re patient, we’re committed, and we’re here for the long haul.

FAQ
For any queries or additional information, please feel free to contact us through our website.
No. FPS is a self-funded family office that makes acquisitions and investments for the long term, with no exit strategy.
Polyethylene extrusion & bag converting, multi-wall paper bags, adhesive lamination & flexible packaging, plus select adjacencies that strengthen the value chain.
We prioritize continuity—maintaining trusted management and preserving existing structures to keep serving customers without disruption.
FPS is interested in looking at opportunities across North America, with a focus on the continental United States. Our Operations are currently in Nevada, Ohio and Alabama. Expanding our network across all regions of the US and into Canada and Mexico is of interest to FPS.
The short answer is no. We are looking for opportunities that fit our platform. That may come in the form of a family-owned and operated business, but it may also be a PE-owned business or other types of corporate spinoffs. We tend to like investing in family-owned businesses most because we have found the most success in that arena and we are a family-owner and operator ourselves, but we are not afraid to work outside our comfort zone.
