BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (February 16, 2023) – Founders is pleased to announce that certain principals of Founders Advisors advised Bag Supply Company, Inc. (“Bag Supply”) in its sale to Field Packaging Solutions, LLC (“Field”).  The transaction closed on February 1, 2023.

Bag Supply, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Birmingham, AL, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of packaging solutions used for a diverse range of commercial applications. Bag Supply manufactures flexible intermediate bulk containers (“FIBCs”), multi-wall paper bags, and woven polypropylene bags in its Alabama and Mexico facilities, and supplies FIBCs, polyethylene bags, woven polypropylene bags, and more through its distribution warehouses in Alabama and Texas.

Under the leadership of second-generation owner and CEO Dennis Limbaugh, Bag Supply increased capacity to become one of the largest independent bag manufacturers in North America while adding product lines to meet demand and become a single-source packaging solutions provider. Throughout Bag Supply’s history of growth, its key principles have always remained the same – take care of the customer, focus on quality, and always do the right thing.

Dennis Limbaugh, Bag Supply CEO, said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with the Field Packaging team and look forward to working together to provide industry-leading packaging solutions. Field brings everything we sought in a partner – long-term stability, shared values, and the strategic and financial resources to continue growing Bag Supply and providing opportunities for our employees. Thanks to the Founders team for walking us through every step of this process – we could not have done it without them.”
