Green Bay Packaging (GBP) of Green Bay, Wisconsin, has announced it is expanding manufacturing space at its Great Lakes Packaging Division facility in Germantown, Wisconsin, with the addition of a new building.
The new state-of-the-art facility will be built along the Holy Hill corridor and will boast 270,000 square feet of manufacturing space for increased capabilities and streamlined operations.
While the facility does not convert recovered paper into new paperboard, it engages in downstream functions for GBP corrugated materials, including those made at its recycled-content mill in Green Bay, in which it invested $500 million earlier this decade. The mill consumes old corrugated containers (OCC), mixed paper and other recovered paper grades.

The new downstream facility will consist of 270,000 square feet of manufacturing space for increased capabilities and streamlined operations. Equipment within the facility will include a rotary die cutting (RDC) machine, a laminator and a specialty folder-gluer.
Brookfield, Wisconsin-based Briohn Building Corp. is the designer and lead contractor on the project.
Operations at the under-construction facility are expected to begin in the fall of 2025.
Germantown Great Lakes Division is a provider of corrugated containers, point of purchase displays, wood/foam specialty packaging and contract packaging and fulfillment services.
