Maverick Engineering makes bag-in-box making equipment and Maverick Flexibles designs and manufactures specialty films and laminates for food and beverage markets.

“Combining Maverick with Liqui-Box will be transformational for the bag-in-box market as we fully integrate our various substrates and fitment designs with a best-in-class bag making process into all of our manufacturing plants around the world,” said Ken Swanson, president and CEO of Liqui-Box.
