Welch Packaging announces their acquisition of Knoxville Box and Container, Inc., based in Knoxville, TN from Chris Castleberry.


Knox Box was founded in 1985 by Horace Harper Jr and later purchased by Castleberry in 2016. The company has provided corrugated boxes, wood crates and packaging supplies to the East Tennessee market for more than 30 years. Today, Knox Box has a dedicated workforce and a loyal customer base. By joining the Welch family of businesses, Knox Box will now have expanded capabilities, as well as the resources to automate equipment and invest in people, while preserving its family culture.


Welch Packaging, which also started in 1985, has spent the last 37 years focused on expanding its original vision: To Make a Difference in its customers’ business, its associates lives, and its community. This cause unites our associate family and creates great value for our business partners.” Stated Scott Welch of Welch Packaging.

I read the news about the packaging company buying Knoxbox, and I liked how you explained what the deal could mean for product lines and customers going forward. Last quarter when I was buried in work and had to take my online chemistry class while learning about corporate strategy in another course, stories like this helped me see how business moves shape real products on shelves. It made me think that understanding deals can make industry news more interesting.

Really enjoyed reading this announcement — the way you explained Welch Packaging’s acquisition of KnoxBox made the business strategy and future potential very clear and insightful. It’s great to see companies investing in growth while honoring legacy and community values. I recently came across a similar discussion on a phonydiploma review blog https://www.phonydiploma.com/, and it offered an interesting perspective on strategic business moves in niche industries too.
