Berry Plastics Plans Warehouse Addition in Kansas

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Berry Plastics Corporation (Evansville, Indiana) is planning to construct a $20.9 million warehouse and distribution center in Lawrence, Kansas. Plans are under way for a 600,000-square-foot facility to be constructed near the existing Lawrence plant, or at a new site in Kansas.

The new warehouse and distribution center will increase the company's manufacturing and distribution space and operations; if it is built at the Lawrence location, it will allow for future manufacturing at the existing site. Site selections will continue through this month, with final site approval and permitting occurring thereafter. A general contractor is to be selected by April 2010. Construction is anticipated to begin in the summer of this year, with overall completion slated for the fall of next year.

Berry Plastics Corporation, founded in 1967, consists of about 13,800 employees. The company is considered to be one of the world's leading manufacturers of plastic packaging products, plastic film products, specialty adhesives, and coated products. Principal products include drink cups, bottles, containers, closures and overcaps, tubes and prescription containers, trash bags, stretch films, plastic sheeting and tapes.
