Join us for a plant tour of Welch Packaging and get an inside look at how a family-owned packaging company delivers customized corrugated solutions while building a purpose-driven culture.
Founded in 1985, Welch Packaging is a multi-generational, family-owned and led business serving local customers with custom corrugated products and packaging solutions. The company operates a network of corrugated sheet plants supported by its own sheet feeder system, providing a unique opportunity to see how manufacturing, material flow, customer responsiveness, and supply chain coordination come together in a highly service-focused environment.
During this Professional Development Meeting, attendees will gain firsthand exposure to Welch Packaging’s operations and learn more about the processes, people, and decisions behind what the company calls the Ultimate Corrugated Experience. The tour will also provide insight into how Welch has grown by integrating corrugated sheet plants while preserving their individual legacies and maintaining a strong family-oriented culture.
Beyond operational performance, Welch Packaging is guided by its company cause, “To Make a Difference!” Attendees will have the opportunity to see how this purpose is reflected in the organization’s approach to its associates, customers, communities, and day-to-day operations.
For supply chain, operations, manufacturing, procurement, and logistics professionals, this tour offers a valuable opportunity to connect industry concepts with real-world practices, exchange ideas with peers, and gain a broader perspective on the corrugated packaging industry.
