Project Description

A second investment in E-Pak Manufacturing, a leader in the steel roll-off container and trailer industry. The new funding allows E-Pak to continue to expand its product lines and grow jobs in rural northeastern Ohio. With a strong focus on product development to meet the needs of both new and existing customers, E-Pak is expanding its manufacturing capabilities and building out a third shift to support new growth opportunities. E-Pak expects to hire another 20 employees in the near term, with 40 additional hires anticipated over the next several years.

The company has operated in the Wooster area for more than 30 years, contributing towards the region’s strong economic and employment base in manufacturing. With more than 140 current employees, E-Pak’s average tenure is strong and climbing. Most of its positions are accessible without extensive schooling or training required. E-Pak also offers weld training for those without previous welding experience who are ready to enter a new, growing field.
