ELKHART, Indiana, October 21, 2025 – Welch Packaging Group, Inc., a family-owned and operated manufacturer of custom corrugated products, has announced its merger with Phoenix/Packaging of Mount Joy, PA. 

 

Since its founding in 1983, Phoenix/Packaging has set the standard to be “apart from the competition, not part of it”. Every day, Phoenix/Packaging strives to be innovative and utilize best industry practices to ensure its current and future customers are consistently satisfied and confident in their products and services.

 

“We are excited to expand our presence in this region and welcome John, Bill and Deb along with their family to our management team, ” stated Scott Welch, President and CEO of Welch Packaging.  “This is a highly strategic acquisition for us as it adds capabilities and capacity to our IPS business in nearby York, Pennsylvania.”

Partnering with Phoenix/Packaging reflects our desire to join forces with outstanding independent packaging companies led by strong leaders. We’re proud to welcome Phoenix/Packaging into our family of companies while preserving the legacy they’ve built,” said Welch.

 

Commenting on the new relationship, John Davidson said on behalf of his family, “At first, we expected to work with a private equity firm to sell Phoenix/Packaging. But after speaking with another local company that had been acquired by Welch and hearing about their outstanding experience, we decided to reach out to Scott and explore the opportunity to join forces. Once we got to know each other, it became clear that partnering with Welch Packaging was the best decision for our family, our customers and our associates.”

 

Scott Welch continued, “Our goal has always been to provide an umbrella for independent family businesses to join our network of companies in order to preserve their legacy while offering additional opportunities for growth.  Typically, these companies have deep ties to their associates, customers and communities.  It is important to us that we continue these relationships.”

 

For Phoenix/Packaging’s customers and associates, the merger underscores Welch’s commitment to serving the region with expanded capabilities and a great associate experience. “This is a very exciting time for Phoenix/Packaging, our customers and our associates.  We are delighted to join Welch Packaging and look forward to expanding our services with enhanced products and technology for our customers while affording greater opportunities and purpose for our team,” stated Bill Davidson on behalf of his family.

I was just on http://neosurfpokies.com when I came across this announcement, and the detail about the Davidsons initially expecting to sell to private equity before choosing Welch really struck me.

That local reference from another acquired company seems to have made all the difference.

Mình cũng kiểm tra các thông tin về tài khoản, giao dịch, điều kiện…
