Rand-Whitney President Nick Smith was joined by leadership, dignitaries, customers and employees on Sept. 12 to celebrate the official completion of the expansion of the company’s Worcester, Massachusetts, headquarters. The 45,000-sq-ft addition includes new equipment and capabilities, storage space, a state-of-the-art waste extraction system, 22 dock doors, a shipping/receiving office area, truck storage areas, a dedicated truck-access driveway, increased trailer storage and redeveloped onsite parking.
In addition to adding a warehouse, the company upgraded the look of the overall campus. After completing the warehouse, the team began work on improvements to the adjacent building that houses graphic design. The building’s façade received a facelift with renovated windows, LED lighting and a new exterior paneling system painted in the signature Rand-Whitney Blue.
Overall improvements produced an updated and consistent design across the campus. The increased plant infrastructure will also give the company the ability to purchase more capital equipment, maximize production and grow capabilities and offering, the company reported.
Rand-Whitney is owned by The Kraft Group — owners of the New England Patriots — and is one of several companies owned by Robert Kraft. It is said to be the largest independent corrugated packaging manufacturer in New England.
