WADSWORTH, Ohio, Oct. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Rohrer Corporation, a leading retail-packaging designer and manufacturer, today announced that it has closed the acquisition of Coburn Carton Solutions, a premier printer and folding carton converter. The addition of Coburn to Rohrer strengthens Rohrer's printed folding carton capabilities with the strengthening of structural design, addition of large-format printing, and expertise in folding and gluing.
