Rooted in
Sustainability

As a company, our roots run deep. We were founded 80 years ago by father-and-son team Abraham and Phil Granovsky. Over the decades, the team grew, their ideas grew, and their operations grew, as the company responded to the evolving needs of new generations. But one thing remained unwavering: our dedication to building a responsible, sustainable company. At Atlantic Packaging, sustainability isn’t a trend; it’s woven into our DNA. We have always created high-quality packaging that is environmentally responsible. As innovators, we are committed to driving sustainability – at our company, within our industry, and for our customers – by creating packaging that is respectful of resources and our planet.
