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. Ranpak’s goal then was to create the first environmentally responsible system to protect products during shipment and today, our mission remains the same: To deliver sustainable packaging solutions that help improve supply chain performance and costs, reduce environmental impact, and support a variety of growing business needs globally. 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 drive to innovate gave birth to R Squared Robotics, a startup division aimed at bringing robots to warehouse automation. At R Squared, we focus on developing robotic systems that can be used to solve challenges currently being handled by human labor in the warehouse environment. The robotic systems being developed at R Squared along with Ranpak’s customer base create a strategic position for both groups to dramatically revolutionize the warehouse.

R Squared Robotics is located in Shelton, Connecticut. Ranpak’s corporate headquarters are in Concord Township, Ohio with European and Asia Pacific headquarters in Heerlen, the Netherlands and Singapore City, Singapore, respectively. Ranpak operates five manufacturing facilities located in Nevada, North Carolina, Missouri, The Netherlands and Czech Republic.

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

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