Acme Corrugated Box Co., Inc., a 103 year old independent corrugated box manufacturer in the United States, has broken ground on a large expansion of their existing 250,000 square foot facility in Hatboro, Pennsylvania.
The multi-million dollar expansion includes an additional 80,000 sq ft of manufacturing space that will allow for a 50% increase in manufacturing capacity. The expansion will provide room for a new high-speed 110″ corrugator, a WIP system distinct to the United States and the total automation of sheet transfer to converting machine centers.
“This expansion demonstrates our commitment to our overall growth and enhanced sophistication of the company. It will allow us to increase manufacturing capacity, further embrace innovation of new products and flute profiles, and have a greater ability to serve our customers,” said Bob Cohen, President of Acme Corrugated Box Co., Inc.
“With the expansion, we are able to maintain our independent structure in a highly consolidated industry,” Cohen said. “This commitment to growth allows us to provide new job opportunities for our employees in our community, and to continue to be a main supplier of corrugated projects in the region.”
Construction on the expansion will continue throughout 2021, with completion expected sometime in the first quarter of 2022.
