Proudly produced in Donegal: ProAmpac invests in the future of food board manufacturing

ProAmpac is strengthening its operational footprint with the expansion of food board manufacturing capabilities at its Donegal, Ireland campus. The addition of a new, purpose built food board production area within the existing site reinforces the company’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and customer service across the food packaging sector.

As an extension of the existing Donegal operations, which support the pet food, food to go, and CPG markets, the expanded production area increases capacity and precision. A guillotine system delivers cleaner cuts and consistent board quality, ensuring every sheet meets ProAmpac’s performance standards.

The expanded facility area introduces several key improvements for customers including a dedicated customer service team providing more responsive and personalised support, improved efficiency and shorter lead times, tailored board thicknesses (190 and 800 g/m2), and customisable sizes.

ProAmpac’s food board solutions serve a broad range of applications across seafood, poultry, meat, and confectionery. Typical uses include fish portions and fillets, poultry portions and fillets, fresh and cured meat cuts, and confectionery items such as cakes, making the portfolio ideal for chilled and prepared foods.

The expanded capability also complements the production of both printed and unprinted vacuum pouches, creating a one stop solution for applications such as smoked salmon and other high quality refrigerated products.

‘The expansion of our food board manufacturing within Donegal reflects our ongoing investment in quality, service, and innovation,’ said John McDermott, operations director of Ireland and DACH. ‘By enhancing our capabilities at this site, we are better positioned to support customers with increased speed, precision, and reliability.’
