The Intersection of Capacity and Ability

Centralized Location to Showcase Products and Processes

The Global Capability Center was established to design packages that win on the shelf by leveraging the supply chain and showcasing the value Plastipak creates to de-risk brand owners. Located in Plymouth, Michigan, it allows customers to visualize our technologies and the value they deliver to the marketplace.
