ProAmpac announced a multi-million Euro contract with C&D Foods which establishes ProAmpac’s facility in County Donegal, Ireland, as the supplier of flexible pet food packaging for C&D, the pet food division of ABP Food Group.
According to ProAmpac CEO Greg Tucker, it is “a significant sourcing arrangement and more.”
“Our partnership is well along the path of collaborative innovation,” Tucker said. The two companies are in trials with a sustainable pet food pouch that will be launched later this year. The pouch will be fully recyclable when new advanced recyclable solutions are introducthe ed into many European markets.
“This is an opportunity for our firms to collaborate in developing leading-edge packaging innovations in Ireland and across Europe," added John McDermott, operations director, ProAmpac Donegal. "But it is also a partnership that will facilitate expansion of production and employment at ProAmpac Ireland and reposition our facility there as a global hub for sustainable packaging innovation for both petfood as well as ready-to-eat meals."
The ProAmpac Donegal facility (which merged with the former Rapid Action Packaging) is situated in Gaoth Dobhair (also referred to as Gweedore), a part of County Donegal.
ProAmpac Donegal has a 24-year history of delivering sustainable cellulose-based packaging products for fresh prepared and ready-to-eat food-to-go.
