-Helga Arminak, CEO & Founder of APG
Apackaging Group, the international leader in cosmetic packaging, announced its opening of a brand new facility located in Defiance, Ohio. APG is expanding operations beyond California and Asia with a new, fully integrated establishment that will offer everything from R&D, compounding, and formulation to manufacturing (bottle blowing, dispenser & cap manufacturing, and custom molding), filling, and outer-package labels. The new fully integrated facility will reduce the 25% tariff associated with China production and lead times by 5+ weeks all while improving inventory turns and working capital. It will also have a dedicated rail spur to optimize raw material transportation. With this new expansion, APG is expected to hire 135 new employees with support from the state of Ohio. It will also create a more sustainable end-to-end supply chain, with significant logistic improvements such as automated controls, assembly, palletization, and material handling.
“Over the past 20 years, APG has developed a reputation for providing customers with a broad range of high-quality products, sustainable solutions, and an unparalleled level of service and responsiveness.”
