MEQUON, WIS. – Kendall Packaging Corporation, a provider
of high-quality flexible packaging solutions serving a variety of
markets inside the food, personal care, and pet food industries, will
host the official grand opening of its expanded Jefferson, Wis.,
facility, 707 N. Parkway, on Fri., May 9 at 9:00 a.m.
The event
will include an appearance by Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker,
who will take a tour of the 56,000-square-foot addition and address
attendees. Eric Erickson III, Kendall Packaging President and
Chief Executive Officer, will also make remarks. Plant tours will
travel throughout the expanded facility, including the area where
presses will be operating.
The expansion, which commenced in the spring of 2013 and was completed in November 2013, has
increased the plant’s production capacity and doubled the storage
capacity. Features of the expanded production facility include…
• new lamination capabilities.
• new slitting and finishing equipment.
• complete press sleeve storage system to compliment a10-color
W&H Miraflex press installed in late 2012.
• a new quality assurance lab.
• skylights to reduce energy consumption.
• an employee fitness room.
“The addition to our Jefferson production facility is representative
of the sustained growth our company has achieved over the past
several years,” Erickson said. “By expanding our capacity and
enhancing production capabilities, we can more efficiently fulfill
our customers needs and strengthen our standing as a leader in
the flexible packaging industry.”
The addition to the Jefferson
facility comes after the successful launch of Kendall’s natural
cheese, fresh/frozen vegetable, and pet food product lines, as well
as the installation of new presses in the company’s production
facilities in Jefferson and Pittsburg, Kan. The expansion aligns
with Kendall’s commitment to invest in its facilities and equipment
in order to improve efficiencies and work flows.
