Pratt Industries To Open New Corrugated Box Factory In WI

摘要

Pratt Industries reported that it will begin construction on a new $52 million corrugated box factory in Wisconsin in the Spring. The proposed 350,000 square feet manufacturing facility, which will be built on a 56-acre site in Beloit, will produce approximately 600 tons of recycled boxes a day at capacity. The planned Wisconsin facility will be very similar to the one Pratt opened in Lewisburg, Ohio last year. It's expected to be fully operational by January, 2016 and represents the company's 7th major expansion initiative in 2014.These include groundbreaking on a $260 million recycled paper mill, start up of two recycling facilities and a display packaging plant, the official opening of a box plant similar in size to the proposed Wisconsin operation and the acquisition of a display company in Tennessee.
