Pasadena, California based KraftPal announced a new milestone with the grand opening of its first North American production facility in Ontario, California.
Located at 2038 E. Cedar Street, the new state-of-the-art plant represents a significant step forward in the company’s mission to transform the logistics industry with sustainable and innovative pallet solutions.
One of the key highlights of the day was the unveiling of the Palletonator, an advanced automated production system capable of producing up to 1.5 million corrugated cardboard pallets annually. These pallets are 80 percent lighter than traditional wooden alternatives, offering superior durability, better shock absorption, and enhanced hygiene.
Guests, including California state, county and city officials, industry leaders, and sustainability advocates, vendors, customers and partners, had the opportunity to see the Palletonator in action to demonstrate its speed and precision.
Dr. Charles Huang, Founder and Chairman of Pasaca Capital — the company’s majority shareholder — was onsite to celebrate the achievement. “This facility reflects our dedication to leveraging advanced technology to drive both environmental and economic progress. It’s a bold step toward a more sustainable future in logistics,” he said.
Strategically located in Southern California’s logistics hub, the Ontario plant positions KraftPal to serve markets efficiently across the United States and Mexico. The company said it reinforces their ability to help businesses meet sustainability goals by reducing carbon footprints and embracing eco-friendly practices.
Martin Fishman, President of KraftPal USA, expressed his excitement.
“This facility, our automation and engineering design is a game-changer,” he said. “With growing demand for sustainable supply chain solutions, we’re proud to lead the way in transforming the pallet industry in North America.”
KraftPal’s corrugated cardboard pallets cater to a wide range of industries, including automotive, pharmaceuticals, medical instruments and retail, providing a greener, cost-effective alternative to traditional options.
In October, Kraft Pal announced a strategic partnership with Orora Packaging to deliver its corrugated pallets to Orora’s customer base across the US.
KraftPal has conducted extensive field tests and trials with over 200 multinational companies with its in-house R&D centre playing a crucial role in pursuit of improvements, inventions and customizations. Gregor Brajovic serves as CEO. KraftPal also has manufacturing facilities in Slovenia, Austria, Finland, England, and Saudi Arabia.
