Grief to Open New IBC Manufacturing Facility

Greif, a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, announces the expansion of its Houston, Texas, footprint by making a multimillion-dollar investment in an intermediate bulk container (IBC) manufacturing facility. The existing 100,000 square foot building is located in Baytown, Texas, and is scheduled to be operational during the second quarter of 2018.

Greif already has a multitude of plants with a broad product portfolio of steel, fibre and plastic drums in the Houston area, in addition to providing filling, packaging, warehousing, and export preparation all within an eighty mile radius. Adding IBC production in Baytown compliments the product line offering and increases their ability to meet all their customers’ expectations. This strategic investment puts at the forefront the company’s vision to become the world’s best performing customer service company in industrial packaging.

“This is an investment in our customers which will strengthen and align our production by providing a solution in a key US region for the specialty and bulk chemical and the petroleum and lube industries. This is also an investment in the community, and will provide approximately 50 new job opportunities in the area,” explains Ole Rosgaard, Senior Vice President and Group President of Greif, Rigid Industrial Packaging & Services – Americas.

Greif recognizes the tremendous growth potential in the area and this new facility will allow them to be better equipped to service the needs of their customers.

Developed in collaboration with Megaflex Schaumstoff, a family-owned manufacturer for flexible foams, mattresses and sleeping products, Protector Bag ExpandForm replaces the current plastic packaging for mattress rollpacking with a flexible and recyclable paper bag solution. The innovative packaging not only helps to reduce plastic waste but also ensures optimal product protection and handling during the transportation and storage of rolled mattresses. Its unique design and superior strength provide secure packaging that retains its shape and protects the mattresses throughout the transport journey. The great partnership between Mondi and Megaflex Schaumstoff ensured a smooth transition, and implementation of the new solution, with only a few adjustments to the packaging machinery.
