Leading Edge Technology From the Start

Graham Packaging Company has “grown up” as a technological leader in the packaging industry. From our humble beginnings in the early 1970s as a means to demonstrate Graham Engineering Company’s machinery design related to forming, filling and handling of rigid containers and other plastic products, to the present, a world leader in value-added blow-molded rigid plastic containers, Graham has been the first to develop a vast number of innovative containers and packaging solutions.
