A new facility in Hamilton specializing in corrugated products is slated to create at least 150 new jobs in the city.
Atlantic Packaging Products Ltd. hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new Nebo Road manufacturing plant on Thursday — celebrating the opening of a facility that the company has touted as “state of the art.”
The facility can produce anything from pizza boxes and the large bins that hold produce at the grocery store to consumer packaging and shipping boxes, Kelly Albert, senior vice-president of Ontario corrugated at Atlantic Packaging, told The Spectator.
All of the products are made with 100 per cent recycled materials, Albert noted.
“They can all be made here,” said Albert, adding that the facility began production in August. “It’s anything that you’d see with corrugated material.”
At full capacity, Albert said the plant will produce roughly five million square feet of corrugated material each day — which will then be distributed to customers across the province.
The facility is slated to create 150 to 200 new jobs, however, there is room for growth as time goes on, Albert said. The company is still hiring.
