Recent Acquisition Opportunities The acquisition of Portage Plastics by Lacerta Group presents opportunities to offer niche thermoforming solutions and specialized plastic components to the new parent company, leveraging their expanding portfolio in packaging and thermoformed products.

Legacy Business Transition With the closure of Portage Plastics' Wisconsin facility and the layoff of 71 employees, there is an opportunity to engage with former staff for staffing solutions, retraining programs, or to identify clients that might require replacement manufacturing partners.

Market Expansion Potential Portage Plastics' history of acquisitions, including Paradise Plastics, indicates a strategic expansion approach; prospects could include offering scalable thermoforming technologies or integration solutions to support future growth or acquisitions in the plastics industry.

Technology Integration Given their use of advanced digital tools such as Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and a robust web presence, there is an opportunity to provide digital transformation services or advanced manufacturing software solutions to enhance their operational efficiency.

Suppliers and Partnering The company's involvement in partnerships for component sourcing, like their alliance with Placon for face shields, opens avenues to supply customized raw materials, subcomponents, or scalable manufacturing services aligned with their high-quality thermoforming needs.
