Multi-facility flexible packaging manufacturer for consumer and industrial products
Hood Packaging operates 23 production facilities across the US and Canada, manufacturing flexible packaging in paper and plastic substrates. The company's tech stack is almost entirely legacy manufacturing—PLCs, Allen-Bradley controls, Microsoft Office—with no modern cloud, data, or automation tooling visible. Heavy manufacturing hiring (86 roles, mostly mid-level) combined with active projects around capacity analysis, reject reduction, and process implementation suggests operational scaling challenges; pain points cluster around waste, downtime, equipment maintenance, and inventory aging, indicating margin pressure in a high-volume, low-margin industry.

Hood Packaging manufactures flexible packaging materials in paper and plastic formats across two operating divisions. The company serves consumer and industrial product manufacturers with a range of structures, closures, and custom formats. The portfolio spans acquisitions over four decades—most recently TC Transcontinental's multiwall operations (2020) and Bemis's multiwall business (2014)—creating a geographically distributed manufacturing footprint. The company emphasizes innovation in filling technology (Liquid VFFS from Glopak), high-density printing, and cross-division product development. With 1,001–5,000 employees and steady hiring velocity, Hood is currently focused on capacity optimization, waste reduction, and compliance initiatives.
Hood operates 23 production facilities located across the United States and Canada—15 in the Paper Division and 8 in the Plastics Division.
The stack centers on industrial controls: PLCs, Allen-Bradley systems, QAD MRP software, and Microsoft Office/365 for operations. No modern cloud, IoT, or analytics platforms are in use.
