About St. Johns Packaging
St. Johns Packaging was founded in 1954 by René J. Leclair in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, when the banker and consultant acquired a small waxed-paper operation on the verge of bankruptcy. The business began with fewer than ten employees in a 5,000-square-foot plant serving local bakeries and meat packers. Ownership remains with the Leclair family, now in its third generation, and the company is headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina. Today the firm operates as a vertically integrated manufacturer of flexible packaging, producing blown polyethylene film (up to five layers), flexographic printing up to ten colors, wicket bags, laminated pouches, lidding films, and laser-perforated fresh-produce films. Eleven facilities across Canada, the United States, Mexico, the United Kingdom, China, Vietnam, and Australia employ more than 950 people and provide capabilities from extrusion through finished bags. The company supplies food and consumer-product brands in bakery (bread and bun bags), personal care (feminine hygiene and incontinence packaging), pet food, frozen foods, dairy, and fresh produce. Recent acquisitions such as Amcor's UK bakery business and Australia's Flexible Packaging Solutions have expanded its reach in European and Asia-Pacific markets. St. Johns emphasizes reliability, flexibility, and responsiveness, focusing on a limited customer base to deliver optimal value. Sustainability is a stated priority: all polyethylene wicket bags are recyclable, and the company aims to reduce both plastic and food waste through economically viable packaging solutions.
