PaperWorks President and CEO Kevin Kwilinski emphasized that the investment will build on Boehmer's current design and production capabilities for high-quality, offset litho-printed folding cartons. The facility manufactures folding cartons for a variety of products including dry and frozen food, beverage, pharmaceutical, household goods, personal care and institutional foodservice.
"We purchased Boehmer Box because of its demonstrated excellence in operational effectiveness, customer service and quality," Kwilinski said. "We now want to leverage that strong foundation to build a best-in-class site. The goal is to deliver even better quality and service to our growing folding carton customer base - from concept to carton commercialization."
PaperWorks also is planning on adding 150 employees across all areas of pre-press and production at the Kitchener facility over the next year.
PaperWorks Industries, Inc. is a leading, integrated North American full-service packaging provider of recycled paperboard and specialized folding cartons.
