Duro Bag Mfg
Duro Bag Mfg is the largest paper bag manufacturer in the world and produces paper bags for numerous companies in the US. An unofficial description of the company's reach in the paper bag market segment is If you held a paper bag today, it was probably made by Duro. Duro Bag Mfg was founded in Covington, Kentucky in 1953 by Mr. S. David Shor and is still a privately owned company. Charles Shor, who became President and Chief Executive Officer in 1987, ran the company started by his father until July 1, 2014.
South Carolina-based Hilex Poly Co. LLC. acquired Duro in July 2014, buying out the interests of Charlie Shor, who controlled 52 percent of the company before selling to end years of legal conflict with his two sisters, who had controlled 48 percent of the company.
Duro has purchased some of its larger competitors in order to expand its geographical reach and enhance the company's production capabilities. Duro Bag has over 1,800 employees working at 11 facilities across the country, with the corporate office located in Northern Kentucky.
