SOKY Pack and Pallet has been acquired by Indiana-based company Welch Packaging.
Welch Packaging announced the acquisition in a press release on Feb. 5 stating the current owners, Wes Jolly and Jim Brinkerhoff, will continue to lead SOKY alongside Welch Packaging.
SOKY Pack and Pallet is located at 101 Mallory Drive.
“We are delighted to expand our presence in this region and welcome Wes and Jim to our management team, along with the dedicated associates at SOKY,” stated Scott Welch, president and CEO of Welch Packaging. “In addition to high-quality corrugated packaging, SOKY brings hardwood pallets and crates—including heat-treated pallets—along with various packaging supplies to the Welch portfolio.”
Specific terms of this agreement were not disclosed.
“We are excited to join the Welch Packaging family of companies,” stated Jolly and Brinkerhoff. “Joining the network of Welch sheet plants supported by their sheet feeder system will allow us to serve existing and new customers with expanded product capability, while providing a strong cause for our associates.”
Welch Packaging, which is “a multi-generational, family-owned and led business [that] creates custom corrugated products and packaging solutions for…customers,” first entered the south central region in 2023 with the acquisition of AtCorr Packaging.
