A major expansion of its manufacturing facility in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, USA, has seen a near doubling in size of the production area at RPC Bramlage-Wiko to around 120,000 sq ft, following a $10+ million investment. The new facility will enable the site to introduce In-Mould Labelling to its technology portfolio, as well as providing for the growth of existing and new business.
The expanded facility also underlines RPC's commitment to continue to develop its operations outside Europe in order to better support its customers in all areas of the world. In addition to the investment at Morgantown, RPC is also planning to further develop its other US businesses which currently include a manufacturing facility for M&H Plastics in Winchester, Virginia and a sales office for RPC Superfos in Cumberland, Maryland.
Established in 2005, the Morgantown factory now employs approximately 120 people, offering injection moulding and thermoforming of packs as well as assembly. Major markets served include beverages and coffee systems, cosmetics and food.
RPC Chief Executive Pim Vervaat comments:
"A key focus of our Vision 2020 strategy is to achieve a meaningful presence outside Europe, and supporting and further developing our North American operations is an important part of this.
Morgantown has played a crucial role in our success to date in this market and this additional capacity will further enhance the level of localised support that we can offer our customers in the region."
The extension at Morgantown was officially opened with a special ceremony on September 4th.
