Pratt Industries officially opens its new $253 million advanced manufacturing box factory in Cedar Hill, Texas.
At capacity, the 1.1 million square foot plant – one of the largest and most modern of the company’s 71 factories spread across 25 US states – will provide 375 full-time, high-paying, green-collar manufacturing jobs. That brings Pratt’s total workforce to 11,500.
Pratt said the Cedar Hill Corrugating and Innovation Center brings the company’s statewide workforce to more than 1000, with a total investment of more than $550 million. The company’s total U.S. investment is now more than $10.25 billion.
The Cedar Hill site will produce retail specialty products as well as corrugated boxes and in-store displays for some of America’s leading companies using the company’s signature 100% recycled containerboard.
Last year Pratt pledged to invest $5 billion in American recycling and clean energy infrastructure over the next decade.
Pratt Industries is America’s 5th largest corrugated packaging company and the world’s largest, privately-held 100% recycled paper and packaging company.
