Southern Champion Tray Acquires Assets Of Evergreen Packaging Chattanooga, Tennessee based Southern Champion Tray (SCT), a manufacturer of paperboard packaging for the bakery and food service industry, announced that it will purchase the assets of La Mirada, California based Ever- green Packaging, effective October 3, 2022. Founded in 2001, Evergreen is a bakery, deli, food service, and whole- sale packaging provider with a predominant market pres- ence in California. The 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 inno- vative packaging solutions. “This acquisition makes a lot of sense for SCT and Evergreen customers,” said SCT’s Pres- ident Brian Hunt. “With SCT’s expanded product offerings,
broader array of packaging options and a business model that focuses on great packaging and distinctive custom- er 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 serv- ing is a privilege.” SCT continues to build its position as a leading manu- facturer of paperboard packaging with not only the pur- chase of Evergreen but also the recent purchase of Hon- eymoon Paper Products, Inc. in 2020. In addition to the acquisition growth, SCT is in the final stages of complet- ing the construction of a 320,000-square-foot additional manufacturing facility to accompany the current expand- ed presence in Chattanooga. “This new site will be highly automated and employ an additional 156 new SCT team members for which we are actively recruiting”, said Hunt. Since 1927, SCT has been manufacturing and distrib- uting quality, sustainable bakery, food service, and cater-
ing paperboard and corrugated packaging. Markets served include bakery, foodservice, frozen foods, supermarket, institutional, medical, pharmaceutical, personal care, cos- metic, retail, and more.
