Austin, Texas-based ePac Flexible Packaging will be adding a second sales and manufacturing location in the U.K.
EPac Sheffield will serve CPG brands of all sizes throughout Northern England, Scotland and Ireland. When combined with sites in Poland, France and the previously announced site in Austria, ePac has growing coverage for Europe.
“Since opening our first European plant in Silverstone in Dec 2019, we’ve grown steadily, not only in the U.K. but in regions across Europe. Our new sales and manufacturing location in Sheffield will get us even closer to our local and regional brands, as well as larger brands with a pan-European or global presence,” said Johnny Hobeika, managing director of ePac Europe.
“Furthermore, we have recently launched ePacONE, a proprietary cloud-based system that connects all 24 ePac locations across the globe, enabling our customers to have their jobs produced at scale, when they’re needed, where they’re needed. Additionally, with ePacConnect, our connected packaging solution, brands can discover new ways to enhance their communication with consumers.”
Customers are able to order to demand, reducing inventory and waste, with orders shipped within 5-15 business days. This reduces the amount of packaging that would otherwise end up in landfills. EPac offers sustainable material options and operating a printing platform that is all-digital and carbon neutral.
Founded in 2016 in Madison, Wisconsin, ePac Flexible Packaging is a networked flexible packaging company, operating an interconnected network of 24 plants with more than 50 digital presses located across the globe with a print capacity of 8 million linear feet per day, serving all sized brands everywhere.
