companies led by strong leaders. We’re proud to welcome Phoenix/Packaging into our family of companies while pre- serving 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 was the best decision for our customers and our associates.”

“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 ser- vices with enhanced products and technology for our cus- tomers while affording greater opportunities and purpose for our team,” stated Bill Davidson on behalf of his family.
