The new facility is expected to serve large manufacturing customers with industrial transport and protective packaging solutions that utilize a broad range of materials, including wood, foam, plastic, and corrugate, as well as the associated 3PL and kitting services.

“The opening of a new facility in Tulsa is an outstanding strategic development for Conner,” says David Dixon, CEO of Conner Industries. “The new site will serve as an ideal platform to broaden our engineered packaging products and service offerings to new and existing customers. This expansion exemplified Conner’s commitment to adapting to our customers’ ever-changing need for solutions that reduce the total cost of packaging.”

The new 56,000-square-foot manufacturing facility has the capability to expand to 100,000 square feet, and includes eleven dock doors as well as modern manufacturing space to accommodate high volume productions of packaging assemblies that require a clean and secure environment. The facility has quick access to I-44 and is positioned to serve customers in Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas. Conner expects to employ 50 employees over the next year.

“The Tulsa location aligns our products and services with the needs of our customers in a rapidly changing and demanding industrial packaging environment,” says Nick Roppolo, General Manager of Conner’s Engineered Packaging Division. “Through strategic locations, like Tulsa, Conner continues to demonstrate our commitment to providing packaging solutions that optimize supply chains.”
