Kruger Packaging Continues Work On KY Packaging Plant
“As general manager, I tell people that Kruger Packag- ing is a family. We are a tight-knit group and we want our team members to succeed and advance in their careers with us. I also tell people the really good news that we’re hiring,” added Keith. “The months and years ahead are ex- citing times certainly for Kruger Packaging and the entire region. Hundreds of millions of dollars in investments are flowing into Hardin County, and with it, even greater op- portunities. I’m happy to report that Kruger was one of the first to recognize that untapped potential.” AF&PA Commends President Biden On Infrastructure And Jobs Act AF&PA President and CEO Heidi Brock issued the follow- ing statement in response to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act recently signed into law: “AF&PA commends President Joe Biden and the U.S. Congress for work on the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This historic effort will modernize our nation’s infrastructure, invest in U.S. manufacturing jobs and build a more sustainable fu- ture for Americans. Our industry is a committed partner in this effort. The paper and wood products industry has been and continues to be a leader in sustainability in the manufacturing sector. We look forward to working with the Administration as we strengthen manufacturing, supply chains and contributions to the broader circular economy.”
Montreal, Canada based Kruger Inc. reported that con- struction is ongoing at its first ever American packaging plant — Kruger Packaging —in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. A family-owned and operated company with more than 117 years of history, Kruger is a North American leader in eco-friendly packaging that strives every day to build bet- ter boxes and deliver smarter solutions. Kruger Packaging’s new $114 million state-of-the-art, cli- mate-controlled facility will be among the most advanced packaging plants in the United States. Once complete, the plant will utilize both robotic and automated technology to build better boxes and deliver smarter solutions for scores of well-known brands such as Little Caesars and Tim Hor- tons, as well as countless medium and small businesses throughout Kentucky. “As our motto makes clear, we work hard to be better than we were the day before,” said John Keith, General Manager of the Elizabethtown plant. With our new pack- aging plant, we continue to build on that mission. Not only will the plant provide us a leg up on the competition, but E’town and the surrounding communities will help us be that much better too. The area has a strong, diverse, tal- ented workforce and is an ideal location to start and grow a business.”
