Eagle Flexible Packaging to add new converting plant in Waupun, WI

Eagle Flexible Packaging has confirmed it will construct a new 52,000-sqft facility in the Waupun Industrial Park. The facility is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025 and will create 30 to 40 new jobs, hired within 24 months of completion.

The Waupun Common Council approved a developer’s agreement to sell city-owned land to Eagle Flexible Packaging. The company began operations in Waupun in 2021 after acquiring a formerly shuttered production facility at 4 Taylor Street. Since then, it has added 65 jobs in the city.

In 2024, Eagle Flexible Packaging acquired 1208 Wilson Drive in the Waupun Industrial Park and has invested more than 3 million USD, including facility improvements and the addition of state-of-the-art graphics equipment.

Scott Deringer, Eagle Flexible Packaging COO, said: ‘Future expansion plans call for a doubling of the current workforce over the next five years to support planned growth.’

Waupun administrator Kathy Schlieve, added: ‘Eagle Flexible Packaging has made consistent investments in the city, bringing employment opportunities for residents and supporting community nonprofits and events since opening. The proposed project is well aligned with city goals to continue diversifying its economic base through the expansion of the Waupun Industrial Park.’

The planned expansion is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2025 and will create 30 to 40 new jobs, hired within 24 months of the facility's completion.
