Pregis Invests in Grand Rapids Facility

The investment will support expanded production space, as well as new flexible packaging manufacturing and converting equipment.

Pregis  is investing approximately $17 million in its Grand Rapids, Mich. facility, which has been known as Eagle Film Extruders. The investment will support expanded production space, as well as new flexible packaging manufacturing and converting equipment.

Last year, Pregis purchased Eagle, a producer of mono- and multilayer blown film used for packaging applications. The acquisition was driven by internal demand for additional high-quality film production, as well as external flexible packaging opportunities. Going forward, the Eagle facility and its products will be conducting business as Pregis Films.

Currently, the 90,000 square-foot Grand Rapids manufacturing facility houses four state-of-the-art multilayer blown film extrusion lines. Raising the roof at that location will enable a new installation—a five-layer Windmoeller & Hoelscher blown film line—that’s expected to be operational mid-summer. The structural modifications, coupled with available floor capacity, can accommodate additional extrusion lines in the future as demand increases.
