Genpak Upgrades Scottsburg, Indiana, Production Operations

01/25/2025
Food service packaging manufacturer Genpak plans to upgrade its operations in Scottsburg, Indiana. The $6.69 million project is expected to create 45 jobs by 2028.

The investment will include equipment upgrades at the company's existing facility on 845 South Elm Street.

“Genpak is proud to invest in our Scottsburg location, a strategic imperative that strengthens our operations and fosters our talented workforce,” said Jeff Hebert, president of Genpak. “We greatly appreciate the strong support from the city, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, and One Southern Indiana. A packaging leader for over 50 years, we are committed to delivering outstanding products to the foodservice industry now and well into the future.”

Based on the company’s Indiana job creation plans, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation committed an investment in Genpak of up to $425,000 in the form of incentive-based tax credits. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning the company is eligible to claim incentives once Hoosiers are hired.

“Indiana’s small businesses are lifting up the state’s economy and our Hoosier communities,” noted Ann Lathrop, chief strategy officer at the IEDC. “Thanks to the ingenuity and commitment of companies like Genpak, our entrepreneurs and small businesses are paving the way forward, developing new solutions, supporting quality career opportunities and investing in our workforce, adding to the vibrancy of our communities across the state.”

Genpak manufactures a variety of food service packaging products, including hinged containers, paperboard containers, and serving trays for the restaurant, grocery, and delivery and takeout markets, among others.

“We are thrilled to see Genpak’s continued growth and investment in southern Indiana,” added Lance Allison, President of One Southern Indiana. “Genpak’s dedication to expanding operations and creating high-quality jobs highlights southern Indiana’s reputation as a center for innovation and manufacturing excellence. This expansion continues Genpak’s leadership in food service packaging and underscores their strong partnership and commitment to our community.”
