He was operating a successful sheet plant and continued to do so over the years. His values and approach to the market were consistent with our own. The Welch strategy includes measured, thoughtful growth to expand our geographic footprint and add capabilities through partnerships with exceptional independent packaging companies. Jamel Containers fits well with that strategy, bringing proven leadership, a skilled workforce, and solid customer rela- tionships to Welch.” Commenting on the new relationship, owner Perry Welch Packaging (CONT’D FROM PAGE 1)
interested in becoming just another holding in a large packaging portfolio. Having known Scott for many years, I was confident we would be part of a family owned and operated business.” Welch continued, “Our goal has always been to welcome independent, fam- ily-owned businesses into our network in a way that

These businesses have deep connections with their peo- ple, their customers, and their communities—and those relationships mean a lot to us. We work hard to make sure they stay strong.” Morris, added, “Welch’s sheet plant network, product capabilities, and market presence will enable Jamel and our dedicated employees to better serve customers. I look forward to introducing a host of new product offerings, in- cluding litho-laminated top sheet, specialty glued items, and jumbo boxes.”
