Arena Products, a Rochester, N.Y.-based packaging and shipping solutions firm focused on the development of reusable, sustainable transport packaging systems, purchased a 10,000-square-foot Packaging Dynamics and Materials Testing lab from the Eastman Kodak Co.
The purchase will expand Arena's testing, development and commercialization of efficient shipping systems that reduce waste, energy, product loss and costs. The facility is one of only a few labs capable of testing products, materials and packaging systems, as well as simulating various transportation methods such as rail, truck, sea and air, according to Tony Arena, chief executive officer. This facility has a unique capability to accommodate small packages up to large unit loads weighing 5,000 pounds.
