Grand Rapids, Michigan based UFP Industrial, LLC, a lead- ing supplier of total packaging solutions, packaging logis- tics support and OEM components, and a subsidiary of UFP Industries, Inc., annouced it has changed its name to UFP Packaging, LLC, to better reflect its business focus and opportunity. “We are growing our business in protective packaging materials significantly toward becoming a world leader in the industry, so it’s important to communicate our focus from the minute we’re introduced,” said UFP Packaging President Scott Worthington. “From protective packaging materials to pallets to custom structural packaging, the new name – UFP Packaging – lets the customer know who and what we are: a total packaging solutions supplier.” UFP Packaging has its roots in the early 2000s, when UFP Industries (then Universal Forest Products) answered a growing call to supply industrial components, crating, and packaging for some of its customers. That business quickly grew thanks to UFP’s national footprint that al- lowed the company to serve national customers with mul- tiple locations. Today UFP Packaging serves customers worldwide with total packaging solutions including custom crates, hard cases, on-site packaging, labels, corrugate, and more.
