General Production

Headquartered in Elkhart, IN, Welch Packaging was founded in 1985 with four employees. Since then, it has grown into one of the most dynamic independent packaging companies in the United States, with multiple sheet plants throughout the Midwest. Welch Packaging has expanded from four employees to over one thousand.

Our core business philosophy centers on customer service, supported by a service discipline that makes us easy to do business with. Through organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and a strong entrepreneurial spirit, Welch Packaging continues to lead in custom packaging solutions.

Welch encourages associates to participate in civic and charitable organizations. The "Welch Way" emphasizes giving back to our communities, with contributions to charities and higher education annually in the communities we serve.

At Welch Packaging, we believe in building boxes but not confining our associates! We hire individuals who fit our culture—those with integrity, a commitment to customer service, and a passion for success—and we provide comprehensive, individualized training to teach them the packaging business. We seek lifelong learners dedicated to making a difference through their work. Join us and grow!

Interested candidates with a strong work ethic, customer focus, and initiative to succeed in a fast-paced environment are encouraged to apply. All candidates are subject to an authorized background check and drug screening, which must be passed to join the Welch Packaging team.
