MPS invests $5m in label and carton plant

US contractor Multi Packaging Solutions plans to expand its label and carton manufacturing facility in Holland, Michigan to cater for growing demand from the pharmaceutical industry.

According to a report in The Holland Sentinel the expansion is part of a $5.3m project that will also see the firm add capacity at its digital imaging facility in nearby Allegan. MPS plans to hire around 180 new staff when the expansion is completed in 2014.

Company president Dennis Kaltman told the Michigan Business Review that: “We’ve invested significant capital in these facilities over the last five years to upgrade and enhance our capabilities in response to customer needs.”

“Our expansion in Allegan and Holland reaffirms our commitment to expand in the state of Michigan to support our next phase of growth.”
