by Alpha Packaging

March, 2008

Alpha Packaging, a portfolio company of Stonebridge Partners Equity Fund III, L.P., acquired Technigraph Corporation of Winona, Minnesota on March 19, 2008. Technigraph is a leading decorator of bottles and jars for the personal care, cosmetics, food and industrial products industries, specializing in high-end, multi-color screen printing. Technigraph prints on a wide variety of container shapes, sizes and materials, including the most common types of plastic, glass and metal packaging.

Alpha Packaging is a $100+ million blow molder of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and jars for the personal care, pharmaceutical, nutritional supplement, and niche food and beverage markets. In addition to manufacturing, Alpha offers in-house package design services, mold-making and custom tooling.

Alpha has been fueling growth through several acquisitions over the past three years, and also benefitting from organic growth. The Technigraph acquisition is the third major purchase for Alpha since becoming a Stonebridge portfolio company in January 2005.
