Packaging Firm Continues Expansion in the Caribbean Market

With facilities in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, Packaging Partners continues its rapid expansion in the Caribbean market. Packaging Partners is positioned to support customers’ supply chain and just-in-time delivery requirements with customized inventory programs and next day delivery. 

The company stocks a wide range of packaging products including boxes, tape, strapping, bags and plastic wrapping, cores and roll cradles, shipping supplies, packaging equipment and maintenance and safety supplies. They also offer custom packaging solutions including corrugated packaging, corrugated plastic, transport cases, wood crates and foam fabrication

Andrew Slater, Packaging Partners vice president of supply chain services, “Material deliveries to the Caribbean market can be inconsistent due to shipping and weather issues. Our job is to make certain we have what our customers need for day-to-day production in stock for immediate delivery. Let us worry about the logistics of getting material to the islands, warehousing and delivering it. It’s what we do well.” 

Packaging Partners business model is vertical, with a focus on distributing industrial packaging and manufacturing protective packaging. CEO Jim Barenboim states, “Our rapid growth in the Caribbean is due to our ability to both manufacture and distribute quality industrial packaging products. We are a single-source supply chain option for industrial packaging in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.”

“Our goal is to manufacture as many packaging items as possible in the Caribbean. We currently have Corrugated equipment, foam die-cutting equipment and thermoforming equipment on order, to be installed over the next several months. If a customer has the demand, Packaging Partners will invest in the equipment to fill that demand”, Barenboim said.
