countries (ten U.S. facilities). The Fulton facility consists of 24 acres and<br />
700,000 square feet of buildings.<br />
Market: The Company serves customers in the food and beverage, retail, and<br />
other non-food industries. Some of the major customer brands are<br />
Nestle, Kroger, Hershey, Friendly’s, Boston Market, Starbucks,<br />
McDonalds, and Wegmans. The Company competes with International<br />
Paper, Stanpack, and Solo.<br />
ESD involvement: Due to the Company’s current flexograhic print limitations, the Fulton<br />
facility has lost opportunities for new business to competitors and other<br />
Huhtamaki facilities in DeSoto, Kansas, and Los Angeles, California.<br />
Huhtamaki’s current flexographic printing presses are out dated and limit<br />
its ability to provide customers with the current industry standard<br />
graphics quality and competitive product cost. Huhtamaki was evaluating<br />
the most cost effective location for the BHS Flexographic press. This<br />
project is critical to Huhtamaki’s future business in Fulton, New York;<br />
without this project, the Fulton business will not grow and will lose<br />
business to competitors, all of whom are outside of New York State. The<br />
project is expected to cost $6,200,000. The company is requesting<br />
$500,000 in MAP assistance to make the project feasible in Fulton NY.<br />
Competition: International Paper, Stanpack, Solo, and sister facilities outside of New<br />
York State.<br />
Past ESD Support: In June 2002, ESD approved a capital grant of $200,000 to Huhtamaki for<br />
expenses related to moving machinery and equipment for a production<br />
line for packaging products to Fulton. The project was successfully<br />
completed.<br />
B. The Project<br />
Completion: December 2011<br />
Activity: Purchase and installation of flexographic printing machinery and equipment<br />
to increase production capacity, add efficiency, and reduce waste.<br />
Results: The Company will retain 631 jobs as a result of the project.<br />
