Milwaukee-based
Fredman Bag Company, a manufacturer of printed and converted flexible packaging products, has been acquired by Summit, Mississippi-based
Summit Plastics.

Ryan Nagim, managing partner of LVC. "Fredman's multi-generational history and strong reputation is a significant addition to our Summit platform. We look forward to helping maximize the potential of the combined Summit, ClearView, and Fredman entity."

Fredman operates a 50,000-square-foot facility at 5801 W. Bender Ct. with state-of-the-art printing and converting capabilities.
"Partnering with Summit and ClearView will enhance our ability to support our employees, customers, and suppliers,” said
Tim Fredman, president of Fredman Bag. “We have known and respected the ClearView family for decades, and our employees are excited for the growth and opportunity as part of a larger platform. The key to our partnership decision was people and culture, and we found a great fit in LVC, Summit and ClearView. We look forward to working together.”
