The purchase will expand the bakery packaging company’s reach in California.
Southern Champion Tray (SCT), a Chattanooga, TN-based manufacturer of paperboard packaging for the bakery and foodservice industry, will purchase substantially all the assets of Evergreen Packaging (La Mirada, CA) effective October 3. Founded in 2001, Evergreen is a bakery, deli, food service, and wholesale packaging provider with a predominant market presence in California.
This acquisition will strengthen SCT's ability to further serve its West Coast customers and provide them with an ever-growing portfolio of fiber-based products and innovative packaging solutions. According to SCT's President Brian Hunt, "This acquisition makes a lot of sense for SCT and Evergreen customers. With SCT's expanded product offerings, broader array of packaging options, and a business model that focuses on great packaging and distinctive customer service, we are confident that the transaction will be positive for our customer partners. Similarly, the SCT team sees this as another opportunity to demonstrate that serving is a privilege."
