ProAmpac is a US headquartered manufacturer and provider of flexible packaging solutions that is recognized for Business Expansion, Product Launches and Research and Development in the 2022 Packaging Gateway Excellence Awards.

The company made a number of significant acquisitions during the research period including that of Canadian flexible packaging manufacturer Belle-Pak Packaging.  Based in Ontario, Belle-Pak offers a wide range of packaging products, including packing list envelopes, custom medical and clinical bags, and poly mailers for online and logistics services. ProAmpac also acquired Specialty Packaging, a Fort Worth based producer of paper, film, foil bags, sandwich wraps, basket liners and other custom products for the fast food and foodservice industries.

ProAmpac also launched a number of notable new products including partnering with wholefood nutrition producer Purition to launch a fully recyclable paper sachet for nutritional powders. The ProActive Recyclable sachet will replace Purition’s existing multilayer non-recyclable packaging for its powdered meal shakes.

Elsewhere the company also launched retort pouches with improved sustainability for human and pet food packaging. The ProActive PCR Retort pouches were launched in response to growing demand for post-consumer recycled (PCR) packaging solutions.
