ORBIS Has Expanded Its Rack Fabrication Capabilities in South Carolina

ORBIS® Corporation, an international leader in reusable packaging, recently expanded its metal rack fabrication capabilities and relocated into a larger facility in Greenville County, South Carolina.

ORBIS, part of one of the oldest family-owned manufacturers in the United States, operates 13 manufacturing plants in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. ORBIS Corporation is headquartered in Oconomowoc, Wis. and has more than 2,700 employees throughout North America and Europe.

“We are pleased to be part of the Greenville County business community, and our expanding presence in Piedmont offers more space and positions us near our southeastern U.S. customers,” stated Bill Ash, president of ORBIS Corporation. “We strategically selected this region to provide high service levels to customers and to attract local talent.”

With more than 170 years of material handling and packaging expertise, ORBIS helps world-class customers move their product faster, safer, and more cost-effectively with reusable totes, pallets, containers, dunnage, and racks. Using a proprietary approach, ORBIS employees analyze their customers’ systems, design a solution, and execute a reusable packaging program for longer-term cost savings and sustainability.

At its new and expansive location, located in Piedmont, S.C., ORBIS manufactures metal racks that are primarily used to transport large parts and components in automotive and heavy industrial supply chain applications. The racks are custom designed to meet the unique needs of each ORBIS customer.

“As one of America’s oldest family-owned manufacturers, Greenville County welcomes this expansion by ORBIS Corporation, and its deepening commitment to our community,” said Greenville County Council Chairman and Greenville Area Development Corporation Board Member H.G. “Butch” Kirven.  “Their emphasis on sustainability and being good community leaders fits well in Greenville County, and we wish them continued success long into the future.”

Production began in January at the expanded facility which represents a space increase of approximately 65%.

Using life-cycle assessments to compare reusable and single-use packaging, ORBIS helps customers reduce their overall environmental impact. ORBIS is a part of Menasha Corporation, one of the oldest family-owned manufacturers in the United States, is strongly committed to sustainability in its activities and processes by tracking and measuring its resource utilization to continuously conserve natural resources and reduce waste.
