Georgia provided the ideal location to achieve our growth goals for Kampack,” said Carl R. Tinsley, Sr, Executive Vice President of the National Packaging Group. Kampack is a woman and minority owned business that has manufactured corrugated packaging and provid- ed both design and engineering solutions in the Northeast for decades. The new facility will provide strategic capaci- ty when combined with the high graphic, digital print, and display manufacturing offered by their regional sister facil- ities, serving its customers in the Southeast. “We are excited to welcome Kampack’s headquarters and their first manufacturing facility in Georgia to Henry County. The outlook of bringing 120 new manufacturing jobs will help us continue our growth as an economic hub for our region,” said Henry County Board of Commission- ers Chair Carlotta Harrell. “As we continue to leverage our strategic location and e-commerce base, today’s announcement by Kampack to move its company headquarters and locate their new manufacturing facility in Henry County is another example of our expanding advanced manufacturing sector,” said Chairman of the Henry County Development Authority Pierre Clements. “We are looking forward to their growth and prosperity with us.” Kampack will begin operations in the new center in second quarter of 2022.
