By GlobalData“As we look to the years ahead, Packsize is laser-focused on expanding our operations while creating an ecosystem that supports the growth of our business, development of our team and our dedication to a more sustainable future.”
The Innovation Centre is not only a manufacturing site but also a showcase for Packsize’s technology to global companies.
It lays the groundwork for scalable growth and local job creation in various sectors, including quality assurance, production, engineering, and research and development.
The facility will also support Packsize’s environmental goals by localising assembly and refurbishment operations, thus reducing CO₂ emissions through decreased shipping needs from Europe.
Packsize COO Kellen Frey said: “Louisville is an ideal choice for us to further develop our North American infrastructure to better serve our growing customer base.
“Not only does the co-location of production and R&D resources allow us to accelerate our innovation and maintain quality in our solutions, it also powers our efforts to build an incredible team that is aligned with our mission and values.”
Packsize manufactures right-sized, on-demand packaging solutions such as custom boxes that use less material, thereby reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
In May this year, Packsize partnered with EFI, a global technology company, for a new on-demand box system.
