ProAmpac announced that it will build a Collaboration & Innovation Center (CIC) at its manufacturing facility near Rochester N.Y.
The CIC will play an important role in accelerating ProAmpac’s product development, application testing and analytical capabilities, the company said.
“We’ve worked closely with the State of New York’s Empire State Development group on a capital grant of up to $1.35 million and we greatly appreciate the additional development assistance from Monroe County, Rochester Gas & Electric, and Greater Rochester Enterprise," ProAmpac CEO Greg Tucker said. "It’s been a collaboration from the start and we’re looking forward to not only opening our new facility in mid-2021 but also the opportunity it will bring to both ProAmpac and the greater Rochester community.”
“ProAmpac is increasingly being recognized for and sought after by global brand owners as the ‘go-to group’ for fresh ideas and technical solutions as consumer product goods companies increase the need to provide innovative and sustainable product offerings,” said ProAmpac Chief Commercial Officer Adam Grose, who will oversee the CIC operations.
The new 25,000 square foot facility will support ProAmpac’s Collaborative Innovation process, where ProAmpac engineers and product development teams work together with its customers to accelerate the time between initial concept and the launch of new packaging.
The center will also be home base for ProAmpac’s Design & Sample Lab.
The CIC will house a new analytical testing lab, new equipment for development and testing, and training space for more than 80, as well as multiple meeting and collaboration spaces.
The facility will be constructed as an addition to the ProAmpac Rochester, NY facility.
“We can produce literally from one pouch to millions,” said Grose. “Short runs are extremely valuable for limited production-line testing of new packaging concepts that have just been prototyped.”
