Zeeland, Mich. -- Officials at Total Logistic Control (TLC), a leading provider of third-party logistics and dedicated manufacturing, announced today that it has reached an agreement with Keebler Company, a subsidiary of Kellogg Company, to acquire the Athens Packaging business located in Statham, Georgia. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Located in a 225,000 sq. ft. facility built in 2001, Athens Packaging is a full-service operation providing packaging design, packaging operations, logistics and warehousing services, along with technical and engineering support. The facility offers significant capabilities, including shrink wrapping, horizontal flow wrapping, carton packing, point-of-purchase displays, club-store packs, variety packs, bag-in-box, lunch kits, labeling, and specialty projects. Kellogg Company acquired the business in 2001, as a part of its purchase of Keebler Foods.

“The Athens acquisition fits perfectly with TLC’s strategic growth plan to expand our supply chain capabilities within secondary packaging,” said Bob Koerner, president and chief operating officer of TLC. “This is an exceptional re-packing business, with tremendous capabilities to service our customers.”

The acquisition also expands TLC’s presence in the Southeast. The business location and capabilities provide a platform for TLC to not only service Kellogg, but to attract new customers to the first-class repacking business.

“This sale enables Kellogg Company to more sharply focus our resources on core manufacturing operations, while also enhancing the long-term business potential of the Athens operations,” said Tim Goaley, Senior Vice President Operations, Kellogg’s Snacks Division. “We are pleased that as a part of this agreement many of our products will continue to be packed under TLC’s management.”
