Committed to growth and excellence, Oklahoma Interpak will be undergoing several capital expenditure projects during the years of 2014/2015. The various larger projects are primarily focused on increasing plant and building capacity, however, several other projects will be undergone in order to increase customer service, employee communications as well as a project to decrease freight damage. Plant capacity is expected to increase 30-35% in our chipboard division through the addition of new, state of the art machinery. Building capacity will increase by 10% through a building expansion project. The owners and employees are excited about these projects and look forward to their outcomes.
