Converting

Mill Connected… Corrugator Capable…
Designed for Customers.

Pratt’s Sheet Plant Division has an ever-expanding network of more than 30 facilities throughout the United States and Mexico, converting sheets supplied from our 14 corrugating plants into the industry’s best and most environmentally-friendly packaging. All use Pratt’s high-performance 100% recycled paper manufactured at our three paper mills which comprise the most technologically-advanced mill system in North America.

The Sheet Plant Division’s vertically integrated supply system and geographic footprint allows Pratt Industries to provide regional and local customers with personalized, localized account representation and customer service.

“There’s a difference between a local Sheet Plant and a local Pratt Sheet Plant. When you think of a Sheet Plant, you may think of great service, but can they handle all of your business? A Pratt Sheet Plant can because they are connected to their mills and capable of doing anything their corrugators or specialty divisions can do. Yet they still feel like a Mom and Pop Shop that’s made for its customers.” — Harold Strachan, JVC

Pratt Industries’ sheet plant concept is built on three simple principles:

Standardization

They share a set footprint to improve efficiencies, meet customer deadlines and keeps costs in line. They have a standard operational format, allowing Pratt management and front-line associates to move from facility to facility based on customer demands and employee growth. This standardization allows the company to be quick to the market with a proven product and eliminate the risk to its customers who are looking for a partner in a new region of the country.

State of the Art Manufacturing

Pratt Industries’ plants are equipped with the latest converting equipment. The mission is to provide unparalleled service and eliminate lead times for customers. Based on the concept of quick changeover, Pratt equipment is designed for a high mix of products in low volumes – a dying art in the corrugated industry. Pratt Industries understands the need for service, in small quantities, on time – and delivers this every day.

Personalized Customer Service

While many organizations are outsourcing or centralizing customer service, Pratt Industries is aggressively growing this critical function within the sheet plant division because it wants to be part of your company’s success – locally! Each plant is staffed with seasoned customer service professionals who live and work in those communities. Pratt Industries also believes in being a good corporate citizen and a part of the communities in which it does business.
