Green Bay, Wisconsin based Green Bay Packaging (GBP) announced the expansion of its Great Lakes Packaging Division in Germantown, Wisconsin. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new state-of-the-art facility — which will feature 270,000 square feet of manufacturing space to streamline operations — took place on July 9.
The facility will feature cutting-edge equipment, including a 6-color plus 1-color inside RDC, a litho laminator, and a specialty folder gluer. These additions will enhance the existing capabilities and improve operational efficiencies to meet customer needs.
“Our new Germantown facility will focus on safe, efficient operation and business growth. It will expand our capabilities and continue to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations,” said Dave Mally, Vice President of Operations.
The Great Lakes Packaging Division currently employs over 80 people at its existing locations. With the new facility, the company can retain its current workforce and plans to create 20 additional jobs. GBP’s commitment to its employees underscores its role as a vital contributor to the local economy.
The project will be designed and built by Briohn Building Corporation, which recently completed several new industrial and manufacturing buildings in the Germantown area. All of these are part of an effort by the Village to further expand business growth along the Holy Hill corridor.
“We are proud to partner with GBP and bring our experience in the print and packaging industry to design and build this new facility. This is another great expansion for Germantown as it continues to grow its reputation as a great place to work and live. Our team is already hard at work to bring this new building out of the ground, and we’re excited to see GBP move into the space and fulfill its growth objectives in 2025,” said Nelson Williams, Chief Executive Officer for Briohn.
Operations at the new Great Lakes Packaging Division of GBP are expected to begin in the fall of 2025.
