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 />
