Primary packaging was founded in 1990 as an offshoot of the stone container company in New Philadelphia, Ohio. A small leased facility served as the initial building blocks for Primary Packaging with 4 employees, a single mono-layer extruder, a printing press and 2 bag machines. PPI initially served the fiberglass insulation industry and shortly after added cellulose insulation packaging for local manufactures. Steady growth over the next 5 years prompted the need for a larger facility so a piece of property was purchased 12 miles north of the existing facility in the town of Bolivar, Ohio. In 1996 a 50,000 square foot building was erected on the newly purchased piece of land. Today, Primary Packaging is a fully integrated manufacturer of film and bags and employs a workforce of 80-100 people. PPI serves the industrial and retail market with high quality heavy duty packaging for demanding applications from the fertilizer, salt, sand, rock and fiberglass insulation markets. Primary Packaging is a Field Packaging Solutions company.
