Mesirow Advises Jay Packaging Group on Sale to Rohrer Corporation

Mesirow, an independent, employee-owned financial services firm, announced it acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Jay Packaging Group, Inc. (“Jay Packaging” or the “Company”) on its sale to Rohrer Corporation (“Rohrer”), a portfolio company of Wellspring Capital Management and leading retail-packaging designer and manufacturer.
