Mondi has officially opened its new packaging production facility in Pittsburgh, PA, further expanding its manufacturing capabilities in the United States to better support customers with reliable, high-quality paper based packaging solutions across key end markets.
The new state of the art plant produces a wide range of paper bags for customers in the e-commerce, food, feed, building materials and chemicals sectors. The facility brings together production previously located at Mondi’s Wellsburg, WV and Oakdale, PA sites, while adding advanced, highly automated technology to enhance efficiency, quality and customer service.
The Pittsburgh plant expands Mondi’s production capacity in the US, with a particular focus on the fast-growing e-commerce sector, including innovative paper mailer bags. Highly automated production lines and advanced printing capabilities are designed to meet key e-commerce customer requirements such as scalable volumes, short lead times and consistent quality, enabling Mondi to respond quickly to changing demand and ensure reliable supply. After completing the ramp up phase, the plant is expected to reach an annual capacity of 300 million paper bags.
“The opening of our new Pittsburgh plant marks an important milestone for our paper bags business in North America. By bringing production together in a modern facility, we are strengthening our ability to support customers with reliable, high quality paper bag solutions while responding more effectively to evolving customer needs across growing end markets,” says Rory Taylor, President Paper Bags Americas, Mondi.
Nedim Nisic, VP General Manager eCommerce, Mondi, adds, “Demand in e-commerce is increasingly shaped by high‑volume, fast‑moving applications that require flexibility, short lead times and consistent performance.
