746 <br /> <br /> <br /> WITHOUT THE PARIS ECONOMIC <br /> <br /> DEVELOPMENT CORP. WE WOULDN'T EXIST <br /> <br />Bill Carver <br />President & General Manager <br />Paris Packaging <br /> <br />Our plant prints, cuts, and glues paperboard cartons for fast service, bakery, pet food, and other industries. When Anheuser Busch decided <br />to sell their packaging plant in Paris, Texas, some buyers wanted to take the equipment and close down the plant. We wanted to buy it and <br />expand its operations. The Paris Economic Development Corporation helped Paris Packaging obtain interim financing and a bond issue so <br />we could acquire the plant. The financial institutions in Paris were a great help. It's clear Paris is not only interested in bringing in new <br />industry, but also supports the companies that are already here. <br /> <br />The purchase worked out well for us and for Paris. We've expanded our sales significantly and ship throughout the country as well as to <br />Hawaii, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Our raw materials are delivered by rail without delivery problems. And we have a skilled, stable workforce <br />that has been with us on an average of 14 years." <br /> <br />For more reasons why Paris <br />you should pick Paris, contact: Economic <br />Gary Vest, Director Development <br />Paris Economic Development Corporation Corporation <br />1-800-PARIS, TX <br /> <br /> <br />
