Rohrer Corp. : Setting a Blistering Pace

For a company that's phonetically pronounced "roar," the good folks at Wadsworth, OH-based Rohrer Corp. have spent much of their 38-year existence excelling, yet purposely not making a whole lot of noise in the process.

That is all about to change.

The kings of thermoform plastic and face-seal/heat-seal blister cards have thrown their hats into the M&A ring with great zest. Even after 38 consecutive years without suffering a year-over-year sales loss, Rohrer Corp. is seeking growth through acquisition, not just of the organic variety. Following the switch of majority ownership from John and David Rohrer to a private equity group in late 2009, the company began to embark on negotiations with various package printing companies.
