History

We've been in the Corrugated industry for over 50 years. We started as a family-run business, and we still are, with sons, grandsons, and granddaughters running daily operations and working in various departments. In addition, we now employ over 200 people throughout our four east coast locations. Our main office and plant sit on 11 acres in Roanoke, VA, operating within our 160,000 square foot building. It's a pretty big box, for a whole lot of... well... boxes.
