Atlanta, Georgia based Pratt Industries has announced an expansion at its corrugated box plant in Warner Robins, a 496,000-square-foot facility that began operating late last year.
Approximately 180 jobs are expected to be added across the region as the company builds out both manufacturing and warehouse capacity.
The Warner Robins plant produces boxes from 100 percent recycled containerboard and was positioned at launch to support agricultural packaging demand, particularly for fruit and vegetable producers in the region. State and federal agriculture officials attended the grand opening at the site on Robins International Boulevard, underscoring its role in the area’s supply chain.
The 180-job figure was reported April 27 by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, which tied the roles to Pratt’s broader Middle Georgia expansion. Hiring is already underway, with current job openings for the Warner Robins facility posted, including machine operators, maintenance technicians, and quality techs.
Pratt’s investment extends beyond the box plant. In Moultrie, local officials approved an expansion at a company warehouse on Industrial Drive aimed at strengthening service to growers across southern Georgia. The project is expected to add additional full-time positions and further integrate packaging supply with regional agriculture.
The Warner Robins project itself has been in motion for several years. The Georgia Department of Economic Development previously identified it as a roughly $120 million investment expected to bring more than 125 jobs to Peach County, part of a broader effort to position the state as a packaging and logistics hub in the Southeast.
