the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. When fully operational in the Spring of 2023, the new 373,500-square-foot packaging facility will man- ufacture 350 million boxes annually. Smith opened the event discussing the importance of the new man- ufacturing building for the company to meet growing demand, while providing the most efficient, cost-effective services possible for their customers. The world class facility represents Rand-Whitney’s largest investment in equipment and capacity. The state-of-the-art, sustainable building will feature efficient robotics and automation equipment. “This milestone represents an exciting moment in the history of our company,” said Smith. “Rand-Whitney Container remains committed to investing in improvements that will benefit and support our valued cus- tomers. Today is also a milestone in our partnership with the Boylston community and we look forward to being a big part of this community for decades to come. I want to thank the entire PROCON design and con- struction team for creating this landmark moment.” Rand-Whitney collaborated with PROCON as the design-builder for the packaging facility, as well as another 300,000-square-feet warehouse on the site expected to be completed and leased out by Rand-Whitney in late Spring of 2023. This is the fourth construction project collaboration between the two companies. “We have a great group of companies including Borggaard sitework, Diaz Construction, Norgate Steel, Steller Steal, Brookside and hundreds of people making this beam signing and topping off a reality,” said John Stebbins. “It’s great that you can all be here to share in the excitement as we head into the final stretch of the construction process. All of your work has been exemplary and and it reflects the quality of a great company like Rand-Whitney.” 14 August 22, 2022 Members of the PROCON construction team prepare to secure the final beam on Rand-Whitney’s newest and largest corrugated packaging facility.
