HGP – TemperPack Expands Las Vegas Operation
Sustainable packaging company doubles production capacity
RICHMOND, Va., Sept. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — TemperPack® announced that the company has launched a significant expansion of its production facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. The facility will manufacture ClimaCell®, the company’s flagship packaging material, which is the first curbside recyclable packaging material that matches the thermal performance of expanded polystyrene (EPS), often known as Styrofoam®.
TemperPack allows companies including HelloFresh, Misfit Markets, and Diplomat Pharmacy to deliver perishable foods and temperature sensitive medicines without unnecessary plastic waste. By replacing EPS with ClimaCell in their supply chain, these companies are able reduce their carbon emissions and avoid adding more EPS to landfills or oceans, where it can take 500 years or more to break down.
“Las Vegas is strategic for us. Having a state-of-the-art facility in close proximity to customers on the West Coast is essential. Also, having two strong production centers gives us greater supply redundancy, which is a key consideration for companies in the life science space. Finally, doubling capacity and having a stronger nationwide footprint allows us to be more efficient in our operation, which makes ClimaCell an even more compelling product to our customers,” said TemperPack Co-Founder and Co-CEO Brian Powers.
