American Packaging Corp. funds packaging center

A $1 million gift from Rochester-based American Packaging Corp. will fund the expansion of Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Integrated Plastics.

The center will be renamed the American Packaging Center for Plastics & Packaging Innovation.

Tom Voss, program chair of RIT’s packaging science program, says “The generous support we have received from American Packaging Corp. will enable us to equip our center with state-of-the art equipment, top-notch faculty and staff, and the ability to provide our students with timely insight into new packaging-related technologies.” American Packaging’s support will also help establish a center director and create opportunities for increased graduate assistant positions that will focus on unique flexible packaging challenges.

American Packaging CEO and owner Peter Schottland says, “All of us at APC are excited about the opportunity to join hands with RIT’s packaging science program. We are impressed by the momentum that the university has within our industry and believe that the combined energy and talent of our two organizations
will achieve outstanding successes in innovation.”
