“We are delighted to expand our presence in this region and welcome Jeff, David, and the Reichs to our management team, along with the dedicated associates at JaMar,” says Scott Welch, President and CEO of Welch Packaging.
“I have known Jeff for many years, and the combination of our businesses will be of great benefit to JaMar customers and their associates. Our expanded capabilities, combined with the experience and commitment of the JaMar team, will be a win for customers and the Chicago market. Also, our network of sheet plants will give JaMar associates opportunities to grow.”
Welch Packaging has officially welcomed JaMar Packaging and its associates into the Welch family of companies, marking its 40th acquisition in conjunction with its 40th anniversary.
“We want to be an umbrella or safe ground for businesses who are finding it difficult to compete,” Welch added.
“They may have strong relations with their associates, they really care about their customers, and they’ve been active in their community, but they just don’t have a good option. With technology and capital costs being so high, it’s not easy to compete anymore. In that circumstance, I want that business owner to see Welch Packaging as a possible lifeline, a way for their legacy to continue.”
