Ronpak, which makes custom-printed paper bags, packages and food wraps, will build a $16.8 million plant in Shreveport and create 175 new jobs. Construction of the 155,000-square-foot facility at the Port of Shreveport-Bossier will begin by the end of the year, and the plant is slated to open by the end of 2012. Gov. Bobby Jindal hailed the move by New Jersey-based Ronpak. “This new economic win shows we aren’t just competing for new business investment and job creation in Louisiana, we are succeeding,” Jindal says.
