When the facility is completed next year it will total 550,000 square feet. According to the publication, a 175,000 square-foot expansion was completed five years ago.
The Houston Chronicle reports that the expansion will enable the company to boost annual production of flexible film to 2 billion feet. The flexible packaging extends shelf life of products and costs less than traditional packaging.
