Truck Service Parts Packaging

ARTICLE TAKEAWAYS:

  • Understanding “service parts packaging”

  • Flexibility and efficiencies with contract packaging

You are probably wondering why contract packaging would be a part of the puzzle for someone making parts for a major OEM automobile or truck manufacturer. In the world of manufacturing and supplying parts directly to an OEM manufacturer, there is one aspect of the program that many times gets overlooked. That aspect is the “Service Parts” portion of the business.


Corprate Expansion Announcement

Crown Packaging Corporation Announces Expansion

KETTERING, OH (July 2020) – Crown Packaging Corporation recently announced a 104,000 square foot expansion at 217 S. Alex Road, in West Carrollton, Ohio. Crown will be providing co-packaging, light assembly, warehousing, and distribution services specifically for a retail food grade manufacturer. With this expansion, Crown has three plants in Ohio, and two in Tennessee.

"We are excited to support the retail food industry. We are finding that retail manufacturers in particular during this pandemic, view packaging outsourcing as a cost-effective alternative to expanding their own facilities and staff," said Tony Xidas, Director of Sales for Crown Packaging.

"Additionally, this industry must protect itself against supply chain disruptions. Using warehouse services to store raw materials and finished goods to eliminate production shutdowns is the additional security they require," he added.
