We are proud to share that Atlantic Packaging’s President, Wes Carter, has been recognized by SC Biz News in the South Carolina 500, an annual selection highlighting the most influential leaders driving the state’s economy and culture.

Intersection of Industry and Conservation

As a third-generation leader of the largest privately held industrial packaging company in North America, Wes has worked to position Atlantic as a leader in sustainable innovation. Following this vision, the company has become a vital partner for global brands looking to optimize their supply chains while reducing their environmental footprint.

Wes’s recognition in the SC 500 List also underscores his active role in shaping the future of South Carolina. Whether serving on the board of the South Carolina Conservation Bank, the Lowcountry Land Trust, or advocating for voluntary mitigation to protect critical lands like the Ashley River’s Barry Tract, Wes is leading the charge for a more circular and resilient economy.

Building a Sustainable Legacy

“Industry creates the largest environmental footprint on the planet, and with that comes responsibility,” Wes often says. “At Atlantic, we are choosing to act voluntarily to balance that impact.”

Being named to the South Carolina 500 is a testament to the fact that the business community is listening. Leaders are increasingly recognizing that the health of our planet is directly tied to the health of our economy.

Please join the entire Atlantic Packaging team in congratulating Wes on this well-deserved achievement. We look forward to continuing this journey under his leadership as we innovate, advocate, and lead the way toward a cleaner, more sustainable future for South Carolina and the world.
