NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LongueVue Capital ("LVC") is pleased to announce the launch of Innotex Packaging Solutions ("Innotex" or the "Company"), a new integrated flexible packaging solutions provider uniting Summit Plastics ("Summit"), ClearView Packaging ("ClearView"), and Fredman Packaging ("Fredman"). This strategic rebranding brings together the complementary capabilities of these three companies to form a vertically integrated flexible packaging leader with expertise in blown film production, flexographic printing, adhesive laminations, and converting.

Summit, ClearView, and Fredman have each built a reputation for exceptional customer service and product quality. By integrating their expertise, Innotex strengthens its ability to deliver innovative and comprehensive packaging solutions in a rapidly evolving marketplace. "We are excited to take this next step in our journey by launching Innotex Packaging Solutions, which combines the strengths of Summit, ClearView, and Fredman.

Summit Plastics Rebrands as Summit Films, an Innotex Company

Based in Summit, Mississippi, Summit Films is celebrating 30 years of producing blown films for industrial materials, food packaging, and shipping applications.
