PKG

What PKG does

PKG, LLC is a privately held flexible film manufacturer founded in 1994 and headquartered in Olmsted Falls, Ohio. The company produces multi-layered plastic substrates for the flexible packaging industry using proprietary co-extrusion processes that combine several polymers (including EVOH, Surlyn, metallocene, polypropylenes, and specialty additives) into film structures available in 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 layer configurations. The technical platform is anchored by Automatic Bubble Stability Control, a fully computerized integrated extrusion control and monitoring system with recipe storage, and tight gauge control enabling thin-walling and raw material savings.

The company operates a B2B sales model selling directly to customers across food processing, chemical/industrial, textile/furniture, pharmaceutical/healthcare, paper/printing, stone/clay/glass/metal, and government/postal end markets. Its product portfolio spans 30+ specialized SKUs including co-extrusion films, mono-layer films, shrink bundling films, barrier films, bio-degradable films, surface protection films, and food-specific films (poultry, cheese/meat, IQF, fresh cut produce, microwaveable). Revenue is generated through one-time sales of manufactured film and substrate products at quote-based pricing, with no disclosed licensing, subscription, or recurring contract model.

PKG, LLC positions itself on technical customizability (custom resin blends for customer-specific film properties) and a 30-year sustainability posture (on-site repelletizing, recycled and biodegradable resin use, energy-efficient high-speed equipment). The company operates extrusion and converting facilities across North America serving US, Canadian, and Mexican customers. Management team, ownership structure, financial performance, and institutional investor relationships are not disclosed in available sources.
