Ox Industries announced that it is opening a new converting operation in Sturgis, Michigan. The new plant will expand Ox's geographic reach for converted products in the Midwest.
The facility will be approximately 150,000 square feet of production and warehouse space, and house two fully automatic high-speed protective packaging and tube and core lines from TCM Solutions, as well as a new high speed "SheetRunner" paperboard sheeter from BW Paper Systems.
The facility will be vertically integrated within the Ox paper mill network and operational in the first quarter of 2021.
Ox expects the project will create up to 50 new jobs.
