Paper-Recycler Opens $253M Cedar Hill Plant

Pratt Industries, a Georgia-based provider of recycled paper and packaging products, has opened a $253 million manufacturing facility in Cedar Hill, a southern suburb of Dallas. About 375 people will eventually work at the 1.1 million-square-foot facility, Cedar Hill Corrugating & Innovation Center. Pratt, who now has 5 Texas factories, has invested $550 million in operations in Texas. 

The new facility will manufacture retail specialty products, corrugated boxes, and in-store displays. In an effort to improve the workforce pipeline in the area, Pratt Industries will sponsor a training/development program in collaboration with Cedar Hill and the school district.

Anthony Pratt added, “Recycling is an important weapon against climate change because as things decay in landfill they emit methane which is 84 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. So recycling is an important weapon against climate change.” The Georgia-based company is America’s fifth largest corrugated packaging company and the world’s largest, privately-held 100% recycled paper and packaging company.
