On June 21, the TekniPlex held a ground-breaking ceremony for its new dedicated molded fiber facility in Van Wert, Ohio.
Expected to be operational early next year, the 200,000-square-foot facility will further expand the company’s capacity and capabilities in molded fiber solutions – a burgeoning, sustainability-minded niche. The plant will produce a variety of products, including high-performance egg cartons.
