Global Manufacturer GZ PrintPak Invests $7.1M in New Mount Pleasant Facility
GZ PrintPak’s first Wisconsin site adds 40 jobs and boosts local industry
GZ PrintPak, part of Czech-based GZ Media, has selected Mount Pleasant for its U.S. manufacturing expansion. The company is investing $7.1 million in a 69,000 sq. ft. facility to produce fully recyclable luxury paper bags, creating 40 new jobs. Future plans include adding collapsible and rigid box production, co-packing services, and exploring additional printing capabilities.
The facility, GZ PrintPak’s first in Wisconsin, began operations earlier this year. Company leaders cited the region’s strong workforce, infrastructure, and strategic location as key reasons for choosing Racine County.
WEDC is supporting the project with up to $300,000 in performance-based tax credits. RCEDC, the Village of Mount Pleasant, and Milwaukee 7 assisted in bringing the company to the region. GZ PrintPak aims to offer a competitive, U.S.-based alternative to overseas suppliers with faster turnaround times and a focus on sustainability.
