Intertape Polymer Group Inc. announced the opening of its newest facility in Widnes, United Kingdom (UK). The facility will be fully operational in the second quarter of 2022. This facility will service the growing need for sustainable packaging solutions in the region with a focus on the production and distribution of IPG's Curby Mailer™.

IPG's Widnes manufacturing facility plans to install new Curby® production lines to meet the needs of its customers in the market. As the business grows, the manufacturing facility will also serve as a distribution hub for the complete Curby line of sustainable packaging products to support the growing e-fulfillment market in the UK and Europe. In addition to the Curby Mailer, the complete Curby line includes IPG's water-activated tape, also known as gum tape, paper void fill solutions, and paper fragile wrapping solutions.

IPG also intends to house machines designed to dispense its suite of sustainable packaging solutions and will serve as a service hub for its field service technicians in the UK.
