Field Packaging Solutions Acquires Buckeye Packaging Co.

Field Packaging Solutions (FPS) announced that it has acquired Buckeye Packaging Co., Inc., a vertically integrated flexible packaging manufacturer based in Alliance, Ohio. The transaction closed on November 2, 2026. Terms were not disclosed. Buckeye traces its roots to 1948, when Ford Davis, a high school chemistry teacher, designed and built a machine to make polyethylene bags and ran the business out of his barn. Today, Buckeye's team of more than 60 employees, with an average tenure of more than 18 years, extrudes, prints, and converts flexible packaging under one roof. Buckeye’s capabilities cover the full process, from resin to finished package. The company extrudes polyethylene, and other specialty films into roll stock and finished bags built for automatic packaging equipment.
