ORBIS® Corporation, a global leader in reusable packaging solutions, is pleased to announce the opening of its new manufacturing plant in Greenville, Texas.
The plant features 420,000 square feet of manufacturing space and 240,000 square feet of warehouse space, producing reusable packaging such as totes and pallets that store, move and protect product in the supply chain.
With sustainability in mind, ORBIS fully repurposed and modernized an existing facility in Texas. The phased installation will include 16 presses in 2025, with room for future expansion. The plant is expected to be in full production by spring 2025 and is estimated to create more than 190 new jobs within three years.
“We’re excited to see this new plant come to life in Texas. This project brings us much-needed capacity and space to support the growing needs of our customers who are turning to reusable packaging to add supply chain efficiency and sustainability,” stated Norm Kukuk, president of ORBIS Corporation.
Located 50 miles northeast of Dallas, Greenville sits off Interstate 30, a major trade route. With a population of 31,000, Greenville is an ideal location for the new plant due to its strong business community, ties to a local technical college, workforce development groups, and economic development agencies.
Greenville is within three days’ shipping distance of 93% of the U.S. market, 500 miles from nine Mexico/U.S. points of entry, and less than 300 miles from the Port of Houston, featuring a vibrant multi-modal network.
