History
Gateway Packaging Co. was founded in 1982 by Roger and Rebecca Miller from the basement of their home. Gateway Packaging's proposition was to fill market demand for flexible packaging. To accommodate growth in the packaging industry, Roger Miller invested in a 20,000 sqft building. In September 2001, Gateway purchased Percy Kent Bag Co, a Kansas City manufacturer of Multi-wall bags.

On June 21, 2010, Saw Mill Capital LLC, a private equity firm, purchased 75% of Gateway Packaging, which allowed for substantial growth. On January 13, 2017, it acquired Werthan Packaging, formerly known as Werthan Industries, based in Nashville, Tennessee and founded in 1868.

Today Gateway Packaging is serving the needs of small businesses and large Fortune 500 companies such as Nestlé Purina PetCare.
