Cold Corr of Monterey™, a newly formed corrugated sheet producer and sister company of Cumberland Container, based in Monterey, Tennessee, has become the first company in the United States to order Interpac’s patented cold corrugation technology. The milestone marks a significant step forward for the independent converting industry, bringing an innovative sheet production process to the American market for the first time.
Interpac’s patented cold corrugation technology, an in-house, innovative, eco-friendly manufacturing process that produces corrugated board on a smaller scale without steam, high temperatures, or energy-intensive heating is uniquely suited for independent sheet converting plants.
Recently, Interpac’s Chief Operating Officer Dale Harris and Operations Manager Colin Shaw traveled to Monterey to meet with Cold Corr leadership, tour the proposed installation site, and begin the planning process for the corrugator’s positioning and layout.
Mark Jared, Director of Cold Corr of Monterey, commented: “We are excited to be the first to bring cold corrugation technology to the United States. After visiting machines in operation in Germany and Canada, Cold Corr™ is convinced this technology will be a tremendous asset to independent converters. Having Dale and Colin here was an important first step in getting the positioning and layout of our cold corrugator right.
Cold Corr will serve Cumberland Container as a primary customer, alongside other specialty converters, delivering high-quality flat sheets and specialized corrugated products in a reliable and timely manner. As Cold Corr’s anchor customer, Cumberland Container will benefit from a dedicated, proximate supply source — allowing it to continue growing its business and expanding into specialty products. Cumberland Container is already looking forward to receiving the first sheets Cold Corr produces.”
While Cold Corr and Cumberland Container share a facility, the two companies operate as separate entities in a commercial supplier-purchaser relationship.
Tennessee hospitality was, by all accounts, excellent — and Interpac looks forward to a strong working relationship with Cold Corr of Monterey as the project moves forward.
