BCN reports that Cell Pak, a division of Fluted Partition based in Bridgeport, CT, has joined forces with another Connecticut based partition company, Russell Partition.
Cell Pak, manufacturers of corrugated and paperboard partitions and pads, opened in 1984 in its current location along the shoreline in the industrial Northeast. It had been exploring alternative manufacturing locations since space was limited at the facility it was sharing with another company.
“When the opportunity presented itself to join forces with one of our industry friends, Jim Bango, along with the opportunity to move into a new larger facility, it was like the stars just aligned,” said Robert Niedermeier, General Manager, Cell Pak.
Russell Partition employees have shifted to Cell Pak, expanding the company to 35 employees manufacturing corrugated and solidboard partitions. Over the coming year, a multi-phase, plant-wide transition will reconfigure the expanded facility in North Haven to accommodate the Bridgeport equipment.
