Winpak

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Winpak manufactures and distributes high-quality packaging materials and related innovative packaging machines. The Company's products are used primarily for the protection of perishable foods, beverages, and in health care applications.

Winpak, part of a global packaging group, operates nine production facilities in Canada and the United States. The Company offers customers global coverage and expertise. The North American business units assist customers throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, the Pacific Rim countries and, for certain products, Europe. Winpak's strategic alliance with Wipak, one of Europe's leading manufacturers of packaging materials, allows global customers to reduce costs, simplify product development and consolidate packaging solutions.

Winpak Ltd. was incorporated under the Canada Corporations Act by Letters Patent dated September 29, 1975 and was continued under the Canada Business Corporations Act by Articles of Continuance dated November 9, 1976. Restated Articles of Incorporation were filed pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act on July 28, 1986.

The development of Winpak from its inception as a single company in 1976 until the present day has been accomplished through organic growth and acquisitions. The Company developed three streams of packaging technology as three business units: flexible materials, rigid packaging and lidding materials, and machines that employ the Company's packaging materials.
