Hartmann expands sustainable egg carton production
Brodrene Hartmann A/S, a Denmark-based producer of sustainable molded-fiber egg cartons, announced its expansion into the United States with a manufacturing facility planned for Rolla, Mo. The company’s U.S. business will operate under Hartmann US.
The $30 million, 334,000-square-foot facility will be retrofitted to produce the company’s egg cartons. Hartmann’s molded-fiber cartons, made from renewable raw material paper, are carbon neutral, biodegradable and can be recycled. The Rolla facility is slated to begin operations in early 2017.
