Montgomery city officials celebrated the grand re-opening of a facility for the foodservice packaging manufacturing company, Genpak, after it underwent a $22.8 million renovation.
The refurbished facility now offers 155 new job opportunities as it expanded its size at 400,000 square feet.
“Genpak’s commitment is a clear affirmation of Montgomery’s strategic importance to this sector,” said Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed. “We are not just excited but deeply committed to strengthening this partnership that has stood the test of time. It’s a partnership that promises to catalyze economic progress, paving the way for a future of prosperity and innovation in our community.”
The building is located at Hope Hull exit along Interstate 65. It was originally established in 1982.
“The U.S. food packaging sector is experiencing a notable surge, and it’s with great enthusiasm that we see Genpak furthering its growth in Alabama. The company is seizing this upward trend through its expansive manufacturing and distribution center in Montgomery,” said Ellen McNair, Alabama Department of Commerce Secretary. “The economic effects of this development are expected to be substantial for the local region.”
