to our recycling hubs . Our focus is on a proprietary zero landfill repurposing strategy that can see racks , totes , dunnage , and other components go through multiple model launch cycles . We have effectively made returnable packaging not only returnable over one life cycle , but rather multiple life cycles . This multiplies the sustainable impact of our products and is a mutual benefit to our customers , our company , and , most importantly , the environment .”
Expansion and innovation
To support such a unique product portfolio , PAKFAB requires the very best manufacturing tools and technology . The company boasts some of the industry ’ s most advanced production facilities , as Herbert discusses : “ PAKFAB has invested tens of millions of dollars in CAPEX ( machinery and infrastructure ) over the past decade .
CNC MACHINING , WELDING & FABRICATING
Our core raison d ’ être is centered around providing holistic , sustainable packaging solutions
Our investments have been primarily in automated processing machinery , such as tube lasers , sheet lasers , robotic weld cells , and waterjet cutting capabilities , along with massive plant space expansions at our facilities in Canada , USA , and Mexico .
“ In 2023 , we added full aluminum processing capacity to our facilities , which allows us to provide lightweight packaging for customers that are moving less robust and heavy-duty components . This lightweighting creates residual fuel savings on every load , as well as ease of transport inside of the manufacturing facilities .
“ We are also investing heavily in automation , utilizing the latest technologies in robotic welding of components and entire racks , as well as deploying machine to machine communication and AI software analysis in our processes .”

ESG achievements
For PAKFAB , challenges are nothing more than opportunities for growth and innovation . The company is dedicated to problem solving and customer support above all else . As Herbert affirms : “ Our core raison d ’ être is centered around providing holistic , sustainable packaging solutions that effectively support our customer base , not selling products .
“ We have been a part of the global transition over the last two decades . OEM internal packaging design groups have started to allow returnable packaging providers to maximize their collective design team strength for the benefit of all customers . This exponentially drives efficiency and innovation .
