Inland partners with GOpak to expand digital capabilities

Inland now has a partnership stake in GOpak, a flexible packaging manufacturer based in Delafield, Wisconsin. This move aligns with Inland's continued expansion into high-growth packaging markets.

'This partnership supports our long-term vision of being a comprehensive partner for our customers across a variety of packaging formats,' said Scott Roob, COO of Inland. 'GOpak's strengths in short-run, quick-turn flexible packaging will enhance our ability to meet growing customer needs.'

Dave Hotchkiss, GOpak president and owner, added: 'Being a family-owned business like GOpak, it was natural for us to partner with Inland based on shared values and goals. This partnership will help both GOpak customers gain access to a wider variety of label and packaging types, while allowing Inland customers more flexibility to experiment with smaller runs.'

GOpak, founded in 2019, specializes in custom digitally printed flexible packaging, with an emphasis on speed-to-market, high definition and sustainable materials. The company operates out of a facility in Delafield and employs 16 team members.

Inland plans to continue supporting operations at the Delafield facility, sustaining GOpak's momentum and investing in its existing customer relationships, while continuing collaborative opportunities across both organizations. The Delafield location will complement Inland's existing operations in La Crosse and Neenah, Wisconsin, and Downingtown, Pennsylvania.

This partnership further underscores Inland's growth in the digital printing and flexible packaging market.
