Equipped with Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H) machinery, the new facility will enhance Paragon Films’ production efficiency.
This new plant will complement Paragon Films’ existing sites in Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Washington in the US.
The new location will also streamline logistics and cut transportation costs within the region.
The expansion is expected to have a positive economic impact by generating multiple job opportunities in San Luis Potosí.
Paragon Films says it is committed to integrating environmentally friendly practices at the new plant. This supports the company’s broader sustainability goals across its global operations.
The new facility is expected to be fully operational by December 2025.
Paragon Films CEO Darin Tang said: “We are thrilled to expand our operations into Mexico.
“This new facility will not only allow us to better serve our growing customer base but also demonstrates our dedication to investing in the latest W&H technology to maintain our position as an industry leader.”
Headquartered in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Paragon Films continues to focus on developing stretch film technologies that aid customers in meeting their sustainability objectives.
W&H North America president Andrew Wheeler said: “W&H is excited to support Paragon Films in enhancing their position within the stretch film industry.”
