The plant will produce Pure-Pak cartons for liquid dairy, juices, plant-based products, and liquid eggs. The new production facility will be located in Little Rock, Arkansas and is expected to start production in 2025. The company said it will invest approximately $70 million on the project including the land, the building, and the equipment. They evaluated different financing oppor- tunities and concluded to own and fully finance the plant as opposed to leasing. Elopak has signed contracts with some of its existing customers in the region.
