McKinley Packaging has confirmed it is set to add its seventh packaging plant. The 500,000 sq-ft rail-served building in Lancaster, Texas will create 100 jobs in total when running at full capacity across three shifts.
“We started looking at properties back in July 2020 and decided, as a company, that Lancaster is a market we want to grow in,” explains Anthony Garcia, Vice President of Operations, McKinley Packaging.
The Lancaster expansion marks another significant milestone for the Bio Pappel subsidiary, which launched expansion efforts in the US seven years ago. Since then, McKinley Packaging has represented the company’s strategic growth success with its now seven plants, two paper mills, and five recycling centers across the US.
Driven by its emphasis on sustainable operations and recycled materials, McKinley Packaging continues to aim for zero-discharge water operations upon reaching capacity. This is one example of how McKinley Packaging continues the ‘green’ legacy of the company’s history.
