The company entered the Mexican market 26 years ago with its first plant in the Querétaro area.

That factory supplies various industries across North America and Mexico.

PAC Worldwide president Thomas Parenteau said: “This was a significant undertaking, involving a lot of detailed planning and coordination.

“Our team did an excellent job of integrating systems, machinery, and workforce. The result of their efforts is a best-in-class operation that expands manufacturing capacity and increases our operating efficiencies.”

PAC Worldwide offers protective mailers/envelopes and speciality packaging for various markets such as the e-commerce and fulfilment and distribution sectors.

The privately-owned company has more than 1,300 employees across the US, the UK, Mexico, and Malaysia.

It expects to scale up its team by 15% or more during the upcoming Christmas mailing season.
