Corrugated Partners Group, a manufacturing company which produces materials for boxes, chose Pennsylvania over other states to invest $52.7 million to build a new manufacturing operation. This investment will create at least 80 new good-paying jobs in Franklin County within the next three years.
The Corrugated Partners Group’s manufacturing operation will be known as Keystone Sheets, and its first location in Pennsylvania will be a 420,000-square-foot facility in Chambersburg. From this facility, the company will be able to serve customers in the mid-Atlantic region and primarily produce single, double, and triple wall corrugated sheets – materials that form the boxes that carry the necessities of life to businesses, hospitals, pharmacies, and homes across North America.
Corrugated Partners Group received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $400,000 Pennsylvania First grant and a $160,000 workforce development grant to train workers.
Corrugated Partners Group is a collaborative network of sheet feeders, producing more than 20% of the country’s corrugated sheet requirements. The network employs over 1,200 individuals across 15 plants in the United States.
