PACKWELL is an ISO 9001:2015 certified Plastics Bagging and Logistics Company established in Houston, Texas, in 1986. Its packaging expertise involves bagging polymers of all categories, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and other specialty chemicals. The Bayport facility will be the latest addition to PACKWELL’s 1.5-million-square-foot facility network across the Houston region.
“Our competitive advantage lies in our ability to provide efficient solutions for our customers’ bagging, packaging, and logistics requirements. Packwell is committed to working with Port Houston to grow the export of plastic resin,” said Al Duran, President of Packwell.
PACKWELL is one of several companies to expand at Port Houston, operator of two container terminals at Bayport and Barbours Cut, located within the largest petrochemical complex in North America. PACKWELL’s new facility will support, among other resin exporters, Bayport Polymers LLC (Baystar) and Novealis Holdings LLC, which have expanded their polyethylene resin production plant in the area.
“Port Houston is the nation’s No. 1 port for resin exports, handling 59 percent of all resins exported from the United States in 2022, and we are excited to welcome this new facility near our Bayport Container Terminal,” said Roger Guenther, Executive Director at Port Houston. “As we invest in developing our marine terminals to support the continuous growth of resin exports, value-added services near our facilities that support the resin supply chain are also important investments. We look forward to serving our region in this capacity.”
