Nefab, a global provider of industrial packaging, logistics, and digital services, has recently opened a new facility in Tucson, Arizona. The new plant represents a multi-million-dollar investment and spans over 140,000 square feet. 

The expansion will create an additional 100 job opportunities for the local community and contribute to the area's economic development. At Nefab's new state-of-the-art facility, sustainability is a top priority. The design is eco-conscious and features fully electric forklifts and optimized lighting systems. 

“The new plant represents a major investment in our Arizona operations, effectively expanding our capacity in the state. This growth underscores Nefab’s dedication to the region, which is rapidly becoming a key hub for the mining, manufacturing, and technology sectors, thanks to its highly skilled workforce and robust infrastructure,” said Hannu Hyttinen, Regional Managing Director, Nefab US West.
