Investments in R&D and Innovation

Liqui-Box, a world leader in flexible liquid packaging solutions, continues its investment in innovation and R&D with the introduction of a new Maverick Dream Machine development bag line in the Global Technology Center located in Ashland, OH.

While a smaller scale version of the Maverick production lines that are in operation at all Liqui-Box manufacturing locations today, this line incorporates the majority of those industry leading bag line features.

“We are pleased to introduce this new bag line to our engineers, designers, and technicians. This new line will allow quicker process and product development, and also allow us to run bag samples for customers and potential customers without the need to interrupt production facilities.”

—Greg Gard, Senior VP R&D

“This line will also be an avenue to test new engineering and equipment upgrades prior to commercial introduction on our manufacturing lines,” states Hilton Traviss, Liqui-Box VP Engineering and Maverick cofounder.

In addition to the new Maverick bag line, Liqui-Box has begun upgrades to the DOT Transportation testing station in the Global Technology Center. This test equipment allows Liqui-Box to test products under several shipping and environmental conditions. These additional testing capabilities deliver valuable insights to Liqui-Box customers that improve not only packaging technology, but also transportation, safe handling and logistics.

“We continue to invest in our capabilities in R&D, process, and equipment in our Global Technology Center so we can continue to meet the growing product demands of our customer base” added Gard. These capital additions continue to support Liqui-Box’s strategic plan and commitment to create the most technologically advanced bag-in-box company in the world.
