MEQUON, WI | Kendall Packaging Corp., a provider of flexible packaging solutions serving a variety of markets in the food, personal care, and pet food industries, recently hosted the official grand opening of its expanded Jefferson, WI, facility.
The 56,000-sq-ft addition expansion has increased the plant’s production capacity and doubled the storage capacity. Features of the expanded production facility include the following:
• new lamination capabilities
• new slitting and finishing equipment
• complete press sleeve storage system to compliment a ten-color Windmoeller & Hoelscher 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,” said Kendall president and CEO Eric Erickson III at the event. “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.”
Company says the addition to the Jefferson facility comes after the successful launch of its natural cheese, fresh/frozen vegetable, and pet food product lines, as well as the installation of new presses at production facilities in Jefferson and Pittsburg, KS. The expansion reportedly aligns with Kendall’s commitment to invest in its facilities and equipment in order to improve efficiencies and workflows.
