Southern Champion Tray to Expand in Chattanooga

Southern Champion Tray plans to expand in Chattanooga with an investment of over $18 million that will lead to the creation of 105 new jobs.

Southern Champion makes paperboard packaging primarily for the food industry.  The company currently employs about 450 workers.  “Our company’s growth has put pressure on our local space and equipment, and this expansion is important for our continued success,” said John Zeiser, President and CEO of Southern Champion Tray.

The company will also relocate its truck fleet service facility from the North Chattanooga SCT location to Amnicola Highway.
