About the Company

Buckeye Corrugated

Employee-owned sheet-plant packaging operator

Buckeye Corrugated is a packaging company that runs a network of corrugated sheet plants to design, manufacture, and supply corrugated packaging products. Its core operation is converting corrugated board into boxes and other packaging items at its sheet plants, serving customers with customized packaging solutions. The company grows by acquiring other packaging firms and integrating them into its decentralized, employee-owned culture, making it the largest independent sheet plant operator in the United States with over 850 employees and annual sales over $450 million. Unlike some peers that rely on venture capital or public markets, Buckeye Corrugated remains fully employee-owned, emphasizing shared ownership and a steady, acquisitions-driven expansion strategy. The goal is to provide reliable, scalable packaging solutions through a long-standing, worker-owned business model that grows by expanding facilities, capabilities, and geographic reach to meet modern packaging demands.
