Brunswick Box Company, Inc

Description

Brunswick Box Company, Inc. (BBC) was founded and incorporated in 1952 by J.C. Lucy in Lawrenceville, Virginia. From that date until the late 1960's the company primarily manufactured wooden, pine boxes for the export of tobacco. In 1958, the company began manufacturing wooden pallets upon invitation by the United States Navy. In the late 1960's, we discontinued manufacturing tobacco boxes due to their replacement by corrugated "knockdown" boxes and began concentrating our efforts on constructing wooden pallets. Today, wooden pallets have become BBC's specialty. The company also manufactures wooden boxes, crates, other specialty lumber items, and colored mulches. After J. C. Lucy's death in 1972, Emory H. Lucy and another brother purchased the company from their father's estate in 1973. In 1979, John D. Clary, then-Brunswick County Treasurer and 1972 Graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, was hired by the company to attend to administrative functions of the business. In February 1984, Emory Lucy bought his brother's stock in the company, thus becoming the majority share holder, and John Clary became minority share holder and agreed to stay with the company and tend to its operations. Two of Emory Lucy's sons, Mark and Daven, are now with the company as plant managers. Emory Lucy is Chairman of the Board and Secretary and Treasurer, and John D. Clary is President. Brunswick Box Company, Inc. is one of the largest manufacturers of wooden pallets in the state of Virginia . ...
