Description:
Southern Packaging was formed to become a converter of corrugated paper using seconds and make specialty products. I was formally with another start up that became the incubator for the idea of Southern Packaging Company. Previously the company was going to recycle used corrugated into sheets and pads used as protection in industrial applications. During the learning curve of the start up I learned that there was a source of cheap seconds material that was a much better fit. As we progressed we found supply was the issue , not the sales end of the business. We also lacked the correct equipment to make products that would make the issue of supply go away and had no funds to make the purchases of the necessary equipment to make our prototype business into a profitable ongoing enterprise.
I am looking for an investor to restart the business and purchase the equipment needed to make the company a very profitable enterprise.
