Graphic Packaging International Boiler House

Graphic Packaging International is a leading provider of paperboard and integrated paperboard solutions to the food and beverage, among other, consumer products industries. Graphics packaging operates four paper mills and 27 converting facilities worldwide. Graphics Paper continues to expand its footprint in the City of Kalamazoo, where over the last 12 to 18 months, they have spent 600 million at the Pitcher Street location.

Representatives with the company said the expansion to the Kalamazoo mill would position the city as the largest manufacturing location of coated recycled board in North America. Graphic Packaging adopted a Sustainability Program in 2008 that included the sustainability of hot-dip galvanized coatings, which was critical for a project this size. Weiland Construction was chosen to be the Construction Manager due to the ability to manage the entire process from site management, engineering, building design, and erection.

Selection was also due to successful completion of three new mills for Graphics Packaging in years prior. Builders Iron and the galvanizer worked closely to process a load of steel per day and deliver to the jobsite on time. No delays, no quality issues, and got the job done on time and under budget.
