Axium Packagin is celebrating the opening of its state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Brampton, Ontario.
The 227,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is the third Ontario location for Axium, which was founded in the province in 2010. The new Brampton facility positions Axium to deliver faster, more sustainable packaging solutions for its customers in one of North America's fastest-growing markets.
"This facility leverages the latest Axium equipment and processing technology and will be a platform to serve our customers across Canada with speed and agility," said Axium Packaging Founder and CEO Pushminder Judge. "Canada is home for us, and Brampton is the ideal place to keep building on that vision while supporting our employees, their families and economic development throughout the region."
Designed with both performance and scale in mind, the new Brampton facility is fully integrated into the company's comprehensive enterprise resource management system and uses more than 45 packaging equipment lines for injection stretch blow molding (ISBM), extrusion blow molding (EBM), and injection molding (IM) as well as finishing and decoration. The facility holds 10 plastic resin silos, three of which house post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. Axium uses PCR in as much as 30% of its packaging solutions, and its silo technology allows it to transition to greater PCR storage to meet rising demand.
