Turnkey Packaging Wraps a Red Bow Around its Operations
Charlotte, NC (March 11, 2008): Memphis-based Turnkey Packaging today announced that it has been acquired by the Bowser Packaging Group of Charlotte, NC. The company, now to be known as The Red Bow Packaging Company, will operate with offices in Charlotte, NC and Memphis, TN. Owner and interim CEO, Reginald Bowser, has plans to grow the small Southeastern firm into a nationally recognized supplier of performance packaging materials, technology and machinery.
With a long-running history of successful startups and solid entrepreneurial experience, Mr.Bowser brings a proactive and forward-thinking perspective to springboard the company to even greater success. Prior to working with Turnkey, Mr. Bowser helped create, launch and grow several successful business ventures including nationally recognized LendingTree and RolloverSystems.
"When looking at Turnkey Packaging, I realized the company was a gem, but more so, I realized that the industry is a gold mine of opportunity." says Bowser.

Expanding this business through organic growth as well as acquisitions will play a key role in Red Bow Packaging becoming a major player in this competitive landscape."
