Mid South Packaging, a privately held company was founded in 1978 to meet the need for a high quality, high service sheet plant in the Southern United States.

Herbert A. Underwood of Huntsville, AL along with two investors created Mid South Packaging Incorporated. Cullman, AL was chosen as the location to build the first manufacturing facility for several reasons, two of which were location and work force. Cullman is situated in the center of Birmingham, Huntsville, Gadsden / Anniston, & the Quad Cities. The citizens of Cullman are hard working, skilled, & loyal, a perfect fit for the professional packaging company that Underwood envisioned. Shortly after Mid South Packaging, Inc. was created, Underwood invited a former US Corrugated, Inc colleague Charles "Mack" Gavitt to become his partner.

With over 60 years of corrugated packaging experience between them, Underwood and Gavitt together built Mid South Packaging into the premier packaging company in the South. Today, Mid South Packaging continues to supply several Fortune 500 Companies and ships packaging all over the world.

Mid South Packaging began with just a handful of machines, a few employees and 28,000 square feet of warehouse space. After three expansions and 30 years Mid South Packaging now employs over 140 people, in three manufacturing facilities across the Southern United States. Menasha Corporation purchased Mid South Packaging Inc in 1995 from Underwood and Gavitt; they both retired in 1997. The Mid South Packaging family flourished under the Menasha Corporation umbrella with major expansions and investment from the Wisconsin Corporate Headquarters.

Today Mid South Packaging LLC continues to grow and expand as part of Coridel Capital Partners, led by David Weir, CEO, and Tyler Kwon, Chairman. Mid South Packaging provides high quality and high service packaging solutions, produced in their state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. The close-knit Mid South Packaging family, created in 1978, still remains our greatest asset reports Lee Underwood, Vice President and General Manager, and son of Founder Herbert A Underwood.
