Pratt Industries To Invest $18M In GA Plant Expansion
Core Competency
Conyers, Georgia based Pratt Industries reported that it will invest more than $18 million to expand its corrugated box converting plant in Albany, Georgia. The project is ex- pected to create 30 jobs. The expansion comes as a result of an increase in glob- al shipping and logistics needs, and will include an addi- tion of over 100,000-square-feet to Pratt’s existing facility. Upgrades will include new machinery, new scrap recycling system, waste water system and additional warehouse space. “We have been proud to call Albany home for the last 38 years and are excited to be continuing and strengthen- ing our relationship with the local community,” said Pratt Industries Albany Plant Manager Drew Pennington. Pratt Industries is the country’s fifth-largest corrugat- ed packaging company and has maintained a converting plant for corrugated boxes in Albany since 1983. The com- pany is also the world’s largest, privately-held producer of 100 percent recycled containerboard, with some 7,500 highly-skilled, “green-collar” employees. Pratt was found- ed in the U.S. more than 30 years ago and has shown dra- matic growth with manufacturing facilities in 25 states. Pratt’s expansion project in Albany, Georgia, is expect- ed to be complete by January 2022.
