ePac Flexible Packaging, a leader in digitally driven flexible packaging solutions, celebrated the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on Monday, November ,9 in Mesa, Arizona.
This strategic expansion is designed to meet accelerating demand for digitally printed flexible packaging and to bring ePac’s industry-leading turnaround times closer to brand owners in the Southwest and across the continent.
“ePac was founded on the belief that digital printing would redefine the global flexible packaging market,” said Virag Patel, CEO, ePac Flexible Packaging. “Our new Mesa facility embodies that vision by providing brand owners of all sizes the agility of short-run digital printing alongside the capacity to scale higher-volume production as their businesses grow. We are thrilled to bring expanded localized manufacturing to the region to help brands bring products to market faster and more efficiently.”
Serving the Southwest
The new Mesa facility, which is the largest in ePac’s global network at 66,000-square-feet, will eventually support over 100 employees, and serves as a dedicated hub for customers in the Southwestern United States, a region experiencing rapid growth in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector. By establishing a strong local presence, ePac provides brands throughout the region with faster shipping, hands-on local support, and the agility needed to launch new products quickly.
“The opening of our plant is a major milestone in our mission to help brands of all sizes grow and compete,” said Patel. “The Southwest is home to some of the most dynamic CPG brands in the country, and we’re proud to give them a partner right in their backyard.”
“ePac’s Mesa facility highlights Arizona’s position as a premier manufacturing and distribution hub of the Southwest,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “Arizona’s strategic location with unparalleled access to major world markets, a rapidly growing customer base, and a strong talent pipeline will support ePac’s success across the region.”
“Greater Phoenix is a place where advanced manufacturers can grow and compete, and ePac’s decision to build its largest facility here is another sign of the region’s momentum,” said Christine Mackay, President and CEO, Greater Phoenix Economic Council. “The region offers the talent, infrastructure, and collaborative business community that companies like ePac need to serve customers across the Southwest and beyond. We are proud to welcome ePac to Mesa and look forward to watching its growth here.”
“Manufacturing investments like ePac’s create opportunities that reach beyond the factory floor,” said Mesa Mayor Mark Freeman. “They support local suppliers, open career paths for residents and strengthen our business community. We’re proud ePac chose Mesa for its largest facility worldwide.”
Built for What’s Next
The Mesa facility represents more than an expansion in footprint. It also marks a major investment in next-generation packaging technology, with additional capabilities planned for 2027 as the plant scales to meet growing customer demand.
“Putting the right technology in the right places is central to how we grow,” added Patel. “This investment empowers local entrepreneurs and global brands alike to go to market faster and more sustainably.”
