Aaron Thomas has announced the opening of a 420,000sq.ft contract packaging facility, warehousing and distribution center in Crest Hill, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago.

Aaron Thomas company president Thomas Bacon said their new facility is a proactive response to the future growth of the clients in the region.

The company originally moved to Chicago in 2005. The new packaging facility in Chicago triples the size of their old building in Bolingbrook, Illinois.

“Our new building will allow us to handle seasonal promotions of merchandising displays as well as allowing us expand into primary food packaging services like we offer in California,” Bacon added.

The Crest Hill facility located close to Chicago, will provide contract packaging services to manufacturers of the upper Midwest.

The expansion of the Chicago packaging service center is one of the strategic priorities for Aaron Thomas company’s top management and is essential to providing packaging solutions for national and international clients.
