A new metal packaging manufacturing plant is to be built by Impress USA. The 100,000ft2 facility in Conklin, New York, will initially have 75 employees and provide a range of metal packaging products for the food and petfood markets. It is being constructed to allow for a second phase of expansion where employment could eventually be doubled.
Francis Labbe, CEO of Impress, says: “We continue to see good growth opportunities in the US.”
Impress is based in Deventer, The Netherlands, and has worldwide sales of approximately €1.8 bn in 2008. It employs approximately 8,000 people at 60 facilities in Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the Seychelles and Morocco. In North America, the company has six manufacturing facilities and corporate offices in Carnegie, Pennsylvania.
