Project Description

Introduction:

Elopak has announced a $70 million investment to boost growth by expanding its capacity at the planned U.S. production facility. The new plant, located in Little Rock, Arkansas, is currently under construction and will now feature two production lines.

Features:

When announced in June 2023, the production plant included a significant investment of approximately $70 million, covering land, building, and equipment. This state-of-the-art facility will produce Pure-Pak® cartons for liquid dairy, juices, plant-based products, and liquid eggs. Over 100 permanent jobs will be created, and production is expected to start in the first half of 2025.

Since the announcement, the company has fully sold out the capacity of the first production line and is experiencing ongoing demand. The announcement of a second production line will generate up to $110 million in revenue for an additional investment of around $25 million. The second production line is anticipated to begin production in 2026.
