Ox Industries, a leader in sustainable paperboard and converted paperboard products, is pleased to announce the expansion of its Aurora, Illinois converting plant. The enhanced facility will include spiral wound tube and core production and recutting capabilities, further reinforcing Ox Industries’ commitment to supporting the Midwest market. This investment will complement the company’s existing operations at its Stevens Point, Wisconsin facility and enable significant growth in the region.
The Aurora plant, already equipped with cutting-edge, high-speed sheeter and protective packaging lines, is set to become one of Ox Industries’ largest vertically integrated converting operations. This growth highlights the company’s ability to support manufacturers in the Midwest with sustainable, high-quality products.
“We are excited to announce this expansion as we continue to grow in the regions we service. When completed, this facility will be one of our largest converting operations that vertically integrate into our recycled paper mills in the region,” said Kevin Hayward, CEO of Ox Industries.
Full production of spiral wound tubes and cores at the Aurora facility is projected to be operational before the fall of this year. This state-of-the-art facility further solidifies Ox Industries’ position as a top provider in the packaging industry while supporting environmental sustainability and regional manufacturing growth.
