Sustainability, plastic pollution, and climate change have never been more at the forefront of our world as they are today.


At Ranpak, sustainability has been in our DNA since our founding in 1972.

The development and improvement of materials, technologies (such as automation) and total solution systems have earned Ranpak a reputation as an innovative leader in eCommerce and industrial supply chain solutions.

Ranpak’s customers span across a variety of industries including automotive parts, electronics, eCommerce, machinery and home goods. Our customers include Amazon, IKEA, Sephora, Misfit Market and BMW.

Ranpak’s corporate headquarters are in Concord Township, Ohio with European headquarters in Eygelshoven, the Netherlands and Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore City, Singapore, respectively. Additionally, a new state-of-the-art building opened in Shelton, CT.


Ranpak Holdings Corp. is a New York Stock Exchange listed company (NYSE: PACK).
