Global packaging company Elopak is set to add a third production line to its plant in Little Rock, Arkansas in response to demand for the company’s sustainable Pure-Pak cartons.
Announcing the news at Elopak’s quarterly results presentation, CEO Thomas Körmendi said:
“This is a significant achievement. Just four months after we officially opened in Little Rock, we are already in the process of adding two new production lines. This is a testament to the quality of our low-carbon, sustainable Pure-Pak cartons, which are resonating with brands and consumer alike.
I’d like to thank all our colleagues at Little Rock and our Americas team for their hard work, dedication and incredible levels of effort, which are clearly paying off.”
The new line will cost $30 million (€25.7m) to bring online and will produce a mix of smaller Pure-Pak cartons, including school milk cartons, to better serve the needs of Elopak’s customers and grow with them.
Elopak’s first-ever US production plant represents a total investment of USD 128 million. It employs around 100 people and produces Pure-Pak cartons for dairy, juice, plant-based drinks and liquid eggs.
Expanding the company’s footprint in North America is a major part of Elopak’s ‘Repackaging tomorrow’ strategy, which seeks to double revenue to €2 billion by 2030.
Elopak reported its highest quarterly EBITDA to date of €49.1m for the third quarter of 2025, corresponding to a margin of 17.0%. Organic revenue grew by 1.2% year-over-year to €289.7m, driven by continued momentum in the Americas, with sales growth of 18% year-over-year on a constant currency basis. The US plant in Little Rock delivered its first profitable quarter, marking a key milestone in Elopak’s strategic expansion.
