ProAmpac to build innovation center to accelerate packaging development
 |
ProAmpac has recently announced that it will build a Collaboration & Innovation Center (CIC) at its manufacturing facility near Rochester N.Y.
ProAmpac CEO Greg Tucker said, “We’ve worked closely with the State of New York’s Empire State Development (ESD) group on a capital grant of up to $1.35 million and we greatly appreciate the additional development assistance from Monroe County, Rochester Gas & Electric, and Greater Rochester Enterprise."
The new 25,000 square foot facility will support ProAmpac’s Collaborative Innovation process, where ProAmpac engineers and product development teams work together with its customers to accelerate the time between initial concept and the launch of new packaging.
The center will also be home base for ProAmpac’s Design & Sample Lab (DASL) — its successful program for the design and rapid prototyping of new packaging. The CIC will house a new analytical testing lab, new equipment for development and testing, and training space for more than 80, as well as multiple meeting and collaboration spaces.
ProAmpac, a leader in flexible packaging, offers blown film extrusion (3 to 9 layers), adhesive lamination for improving both the barrier properties and appearance of a variety of films, and extrusion & lamination coating as well.
