Ecopax will expand its Bethlehem manufacturing facility with a 104,328-square-foot addition that will create up to 20 new jobs as the company meets growing demand for its eco-conscious food packaging products.
The expansion at Lehigh Valley Industrial Park VII will complement the company’s existing 315,643-square-foot manufacturing and warehousing facility. The addition will feature six new loading docks, 12 additional truck parking spaces, and upgraded fire protection infrastructure, including two new fire hydrants and a water line expansion.
“Ecopax is committed to growing our sustainable manufacturing capabilities right here in the Lehigh Valley,” company Founder Peter Wong said.
The Forks Township-based company produces customizable food packaging made using energy-efficient processes and eco-conscious materials. Its products include takeout containers, food trays, cups, lids, and bags.
J.G. Petrucci Company Inc. will construct the expansion. The same company built Ecopax’s plant in Forks Township in 2006.
“Ecopax’s continued investment in their Bethlehem facility illustrates the strength of our industrial parks and the value of long-term partnerships between local companies and experienced developers like J.G. Petrucci,” said Kerry Wrobel, president of Lehigh Valley Industrial Park, Inc.
