LDI Acquires Southern Container
Liberty Diversified International (LDI) has confirmed it has acquired Southern Container, a Houston based packaging company. Southern Container, to be named Liberty Pack- aging Houston, will become part of Liberty Packaging, a business unit in the LDI family of companies. Matt Homan, LDI’s President and CEO, said, “We are excited to add Southern Container to our Packaging team and rebrand the business as Liberty Packaging Houston. We will continue manufacturing from the current site in northwest Houston and we have offered their 50 employ- ees jobs with Liberty Packaging.” Southern Container owner Brook Wiggins, Sr., who will retain a consultative role with the company, said, “When we decided to sell the company, Liberty Packaging was a natural choice. They share similar values, including ex- traordinary care for customers and employees.” Homan said that Southern Container, with its wide array of corrugated box manufacturing equipment and capabil- ities, will be an excellent regional complement to Liberty Packaging’s Dallas/Fort Worth operations. “We’re continuing to expand our reach throughout the Southwestern United States and this acquisition adds ca- pacity and talent for us to continue to grow and be a lead- er in the Texas market,” said Homan.
