Elopak<\/a> has announced plans to accelerate its growth by expanding its capacity at the new production plant currently under construction in Little Rock, Arkansas, US.<\/p>\n

The facility, which was initially announced in June 2023 with a significant investment of approximately $70m, will now house two production lines instead of one.<\/p>\n

The state-of-the-art technology at the plant is designed to produce Pure-Pak cartons for a variety of liquid products. <\/p>\n

The expansion is expected to create more than 100 permanent jobs, with the first production line commencing operations in the first half (H1) of 2025.<\/p>\n

Following the sell-out of the full production capacity for the first line and continued demand, Elopak has decided to add a second production line.<\/p>\n

This addition is projected to contribute up to $110m in revenues for a comparatively incremental investment of roughly $25m, with the second line expected to be operational in 2026.<\/p>\n
