Cumberland Container Adds Capacity With Investment In Apstar HG2 1228
For over 50 years, Cumberland Container has been a staple in the cor- rugated industry, providing high-quality products to its customers. Over the years, Cumberland has continued to expand its operations and cut- ting-edge machinery to support its growth and changing market demand. With its success, growth, and longevity, Cumberland Container once again needed to invest in new equipment. Their mission is to provide quality products within spec and on time, therefore, any machine purchased by Cumberland had to be the cream of the crop.

When you combine that with parts that can be sourced locally and are in stock in Merrillville, Indiana, the Apstar quickly became the clear choice,” explained Andrew Miller, Operations Manager.
