Generational Group, a leading mergers and acquisitions advisor for privately held businesses, is pleased to announce the sale of its client, AAA Box Co., Inc., to Continental Western Corporation. The acquisition closed February 4, 2020 and details were not disclosed.

AAA Box Co., Inc. (AAA), located in Houston, Texas, is a supplier and distributor of stock and custom boxes, packaging products, and shipping supplies. Serving the Houston market for almost 50 years, AAA has been a market leader in supplying corrugated boxes of all types and sizes, and has served a variety of industries including oilfield, moving and storage, food, logistics and agriculture.

Continental Western Corporation (CWC), located in San Leandro, California, has been in business for almost 70 years. CWC is a nationwide packaging, safety, and industrial supplier with 9 branches across the U.S. By selling a wide variety of products to a diverse industry mix, CWC is actively broadening its customer base across the country. CWC continues to aggressively look for add-on acquisitions as part of its growth strategy.

Generational Group Executive Managing Director of M&A – Central Region, Michael Goss, and his team, led by Senior M&A Advisor, Tim Cook, and assisted by Vice President, Mergers & Acquisitions, Jon LePage, successfully closed the deal. Senior Managing Director James Carr established the initial relationship with AAA.

“CWC was looking to expand their existing branch and presence in the Houston market. AAA was the perfect fit for them,” said Cook. “It was a pleasure working with both the buyer and the seller on this deal and especially helping the owner of AAA reach his retirement goal!”
