Cady Bag

What Cady Bag does

Cady Bag Company, LLC is a vertically integrated US manufacturer of woven polypropylene fabrics and bags, operating from a single facility in Pearson, Georgia. Founded in 1957, the company controls the entire production process from polypropylene resin extrusion through finished bag, making it the only fully integrated domestic Leno bag manufacturer in the United States. Its core technology platform spans circular polypropylene weaving, BOPP (biaxially oriented polypropylene) lamination, 98-inch extrusion coating, and perforating capabilities, supporting five product divisions: Leno mesh packaging for produce (onions, potatoes, citrus, nuts), cotton bale packaging for the domestic cotton industry, consumer BOPP packaging for pet food and agricultural consumer goods, building products and coated fabrics for manufactured housing and RV markets, and a global sales network for sourcing and reselling woven polypropylene materials.

The company serves customers across agricultural produce, cotton ginning, consumer packaged goods, and building products end markets, with certifications including FDA approval for direct food contact, NAFTA-certified supply chain compliance, and Cotton Council membership. Its revenue model is direct manufacturing sales with custom quote-based pricing, supporting order quantities from less-than-truckload through full truckload. Distribution is primarily direct to end customers via website quote forms and phone sales, supplemented by a global sourcing network for products beyond domestic production scope. Customer relationships are notably long-tenured, with multiple accounts exceeding 50 years of continuous business, reflecting the high switching costs and certification dependencies in its regulated end markets.

Cady Bag was founded by Earl Webb, Harry Cady, and Nell Cady, transitioned through an investment group sale in 1998, and was repurchased by the Cady family and local investors in 2008. The company has been a domestic manufacturer for over 65 years, emphasizes US-based production as a supply-chain reliability differentiator versus imported alternatives (offering 8-week lead times against 14-18 weeks for imports), and is privately held as an LLC with no public ticker.
