In a January 19th release, Tekni-Plex announced acquisition of the assets and technology of Fibro Corporation, located in Tacoma, WA.  The company develops and manufactures molded fiber packaging for eggs and fresh food supplying sustainable pulp-based containers. The production capability of the Fibro Corporation will be integrated with Dolco Packaging allowing the company to supply egg cartons fabricated from either polystyrene foam, PET or pulp. Fibro has developed a smooth-finished, fiber-based egg carton facilitating precise printing and product presentation.
