International Paper Company is looking to invest in improvements to its Crawfordsville corrugated packaging business. As part of the decision-making process, they will seek a tax abatement incentive from the City of Crawfordsville. If approved by the city, the planned improvements include the addition of state-of-the-art equipment which will allow the facility to accommodate additional production and increase operation efficiencies.
“Crawfordsville is an important part of International Paper’s corrugated packaging business,” said Mandi Gilliland, region general manager, International Paper. “We are excited to identify improvement opportunities for the facility and continue to make a positive impact in the local community.”
International Paper’s Crawfordsville facility employs approximately 160 employees and produces corrugated packaging for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, processed food, beverage, shipping, distribution and e-commerce customers.
“International Paper has a long history of success in our community,” Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton said. “The decision to invest in further enhancing their manufacturing operations in Crawfordsville positions them to remain highly competitive well into the future. We truly appreciate their continued confidence in our community, to work alongside the high-quality team they’ve assembled locally, in ensuring the success of their new investment.”
