Protective packaging manufacturer Pregis has announced an $80 million investment in a new blown film extrusion facility in South Carolina, US.
Located in Anderson, the 168,000-square-foot facility will produce engineered films that can be used to manufacture packaging solutions for food, consumer packaged goods and medical device applications.
The plant – which is expected to be operational in September – will also feature a film laboratory to develop and test materials, and is expected to create 120 new jobs for local workers.
“We believe that this new facility will be the most technologically advanced extrusion facility in North America,” said Kevin Baudhuin, president and CEO of Pregis.
“The facility has been staffed with technology and market leaders who are focused on developing extruded films that have been engineered to meet market-driven performance requirements.”
