American Packaging president and CEO Peter Schottland said: "The decision to invest such a significant project scale into New York State was a complex one indeed.

“In the end, three factors led us to this exciting announcement. Firstly, the quality of the work ethic in New York is much like that of the Midwest, full of great people who deeply care about the well-being of their company.

“Our current APC families working in New York are second to none and finally the Cuomo administration fought aggressively to get us to make this investment."

Founded in 1902, APC is specialised in flexographic and rotogravure printing, multi-ply extrusion as well as adhesive lamination of film, paper, and foil, and pouch and bag fabrication.
