AES, UN1F1ED (Cont’d from Page 1) The scrap and dust removal and baling system AES in- stalled at UN1F1ED2 provides the converter with a means to tie all of its production equipment together in regard to controlling the waste it generates. The AES system col- lects scraps from six points of generation, including diecut- ters, folder/gluers and other production equipment; a new shredder is also integrated into the scrap system. The AES System is said to offer heavy duty performance in a compact footprint along with lower operating costs; through its use UN1F1ED was actually able to receive a re- bate from its electrical utility. The scrap material travels through pneumatic conveyance ducting by means of material handling fans to a 60,000 CFM AirShark separator before being deposited into an automat- ic baler.The system includes a dust collector, as well. AES provided a turnkey equipment and installation pack- age with professional project management.The scope ofAES’ work included a full electrical control package with touch screen interface, rigging and installation, integration of all equipment, piping and components, structural steel fabrica- tion and erection, and start-up, commissioning and training. When It Began The origins of UN1F1ED2 date back to 1988 whenArt Ma- hassel foundedAtlas Box & Crating Co. in Sutton,Massachu- setts, dedicating the new company to producing custom crates. The company expanded into foam and corrugated products and it grew from its headquarters in Massachu- setts to subsidiary plants in North Carolina and New Jersey, and continuing to expand overseas with facilities in Ireland, Poland, Czech Republic and China. UN1F1ED2, in its current iteration, was created in April 2018 when Rand-Whitney Packaging, a subsidiary of Rand-Whitney Container and Kraft Group company formed a joint venture withAGlobal Solutions, the new name for At- las Box.The newly launched venture soon began operating under the brand UN1F1ED2 Global Packaging Group. At the time of the launch, UPGP Rand-Whitney and Kraft issued a statement saying that, “As the regional leaders in highly engineered protective packaging, this strategic joint venture will allow us to better support our customers with broader capabilities while expanding our reach and respon- siveness globally.” The Kraft Group, headquartered in Foxborough, Massa- chusetts, is the holding company for the Kraft family’s vari- ous businesses,which includes paper and packaging manu- facturing and the distribution of forest products. “Today, UGPG2 is a fully integrated packaging company,” said Tavares,“supporting customers around the world with full capabilities of all protective packaging and straight cor- rugated services along with molded fiber packaging, ware- house and transportation logistics around the world.” From its launch with just one employee, UGPG2 today employs more than 800 around people around the world. Its corporate headquarters in Sutton is 500,000 square feet, and the company is expecting to expand in the next few years to a larger facility.The company’s European headquar-
