Southern Champion Tray, the 93-year-old Chattanooga-based manufacturer of paperboard items for the bakery and food service industry, has acquired another longtime packaging company.
Honeymoon Paper Products Inc., a 60-year-old business based in Fairfield, Ohio, is a packaging provider to supermarket and retail bakeries, delis, and food service and wholesale companies. It employs about 150 people.
According to SCT, it has acquired substantially all of Honeymoon’s assets and will integrate the company’s catalog of items into its offerings. SCT also will provide expanded printing technology for Honeymoon’s custom packaging business.
SCT President and CEO John Zeiser said the acquisition makes a lot of sense for Southern Champion and Honeymoon customers as the deal expands the breadth of its product line and scope of its manufacturing capabilities.
“Our business model is based on consistently delivering great packaging with distinctive customer service,” Zeiser said. “We look forward to welcoming the Honeymoon organization into the Southern Champion Tray family.”
