ROCKWALL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION ANNOUNCES
PRATT INDUSTRIES EXPANSION IN ROCKWALL TECHNOLOGY PARK
ROCKWALL, Texas – The Rockwall Economic Development Corporation (“REDC”) is proud to announce the expansion of Pratt Industries (“Pratt”), the world’s largest privately held producer of 100% recycled containerboard and the fifth largest corrugated packaging company in the United States.
Pratt initially opened its state-of-the-art corrugating facility on approximately 30 acres in the Rockwall Technology Park in 2017. This expansion represents a significant investment in Pratt’s Rockwall campus, reinforcing the company’s long-term commitment to the community.
The expansion will add approximately 346,000 square feet to the existing facility resulting in a total building size of approximately 736,000 square feet. The project is expected to bring $90M in capital investment along with the creation of 100 new jobs.
“Pratt Industries’ continued investment in Rockwall is a testament to the strength of our partnership and the success they’ve experienced here,” said REDC President Matt Wavering. “This expansion not only represents a major capital investment, but also the creation of high-quality jobs and advanced manufacturing capabilities. Pratt is exactly the type of innovative, collaborative, and community-focused company we are proud to support.”
“We are excited to expand our operations in Texas. The growth of our Rockwall box plant will bring advanced technology and increased capacity directly to our customers, while complementing our existing manufacturing, recycling and transportation network across the state and region,” said Pratt Industries Executive Chairman Anthony Pratt. “This expansion further drives our commitment to investing in recycling, sustainability, and American manufacturing jobs.”
The expansion further solidifies Rockwall’s position as a regional hub for advanced manufacturing and sustainable industry. Pratt’s investment aligns with the community’s vision of attracting companies that deliver both economic impact and job creation.
Construction and equipment installation timelines for the expansion are expected to proceed in phases, with full operations anticipated following completion of the new corrugator line and facility enhancements.
