Pratt Industries is expanding its corrugated box manufacturing facility in Rockwall, Texas, with a project expected to bring $90 million in capital investment and create 100 new jobs.

The expansion was announced by the Rockwall Economic Development Corporation and will significantly increase the plant’s production footprint and manufacturing capabilities.

Facility to Nearly Double in Size

The project will add approximately 346,000 square feet to the existing facility, increasing the total building size to roughly 736,000 square feet.

Pratt Industries originally opened the corrugated packaging plant in Rockwall Technology Park in 2017 and has continued investing in its Texas operations as demand for sustainable packaging solutions grows.

According to local officials, the expansion will strengthen the region’s manufacturing base while supporting long-term economic development through new employment opportunities and advanced production technology.

Supporting Packaging Growth and Sustainability

Anthony Pratt, Executive Chairman of Pratt Industries, said the expansion will increase production capacity while strengthening the company’s manufacturing, recycling and transportation network across Texas and the surrounding region.

The company stated that the investment aligns with its broader strategy to support:

• Corrugated packaging demand growth
• Recycling infrastructure development
• Sustainable manufacturing initiatives
• U.S.-based manufacturing employment
• Advanced production technology deployment

Construction to Be Completed in Phases

The expansion will include a new corrugator line and additional facility enhancements. Construction and equipment installation are expected to proceed in phases, with full operations beginning after project completion.

Local officials described the investment as a strong signal of confidence in Rockwall’s business environment and industrial growth potential.

Industry Outlook

The project reflects continued investment across the North American corrugated packaging sector as manufacturers expand capacity to serve e-commerce, consumer goods and industrial packaging markets.

With sustainability, recycled fiber utilization and domestic manufacturing becoming increasingly important competitive factors, major packaging producers continue investing in modern corrugated production assets to support long-term growth.
