CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Barings, one of the world's leading asset management firms, announced today that it served as co-documentation agent and participated in providing a senior secured credit facility to support Lindsay Goldberg's investment in Golden West Packaging Group LLC, a holding company created earlier this year for investments in the packaging industry.

"We're confident the company will benefit greatly from Lindsay Goldberg's significant industry experience as Golden West Packaging seeks to leverage its scale, diverse end markets and attractive geography."
