Working with a vertically integrated paper company can add value to your business, from efficiency to flexibility. Ox became vertically integrated in 2007. Now, Ox Industries is the largest independently owned vertically integrated producer of 100% recycled paperboard, tubes and cores, specialty paper, and protective packaging in the United States.
What is Vertical Integration?
Vertical integration is a business approach where a company controls multiple stages of its supply chain, from the production and manufacturing of raw materials all the way to the delivery of finished products to its consumer base. As a vertically integrated paper company, we control the sourcing of waste paper materials, sorting and processing waste paper into pulp for various grades of paperboard, and producing finished converted paperboard tubes and cores and protective packaging. Working with a vertically integrated company for paperboard and paperboard-converted products provides peace of mind.
The value of working with a vertically integrated paper company:
- Continuous Improvement
We oversee the entire production process and value continuous improvement. We consistently monitor and review existing processes, systems, structures, and results to identify opportunities for improvement.
- Flexibility
We can adapt quickly to changes in the market and customer needs. Our flexible production system increases efficiency and improves our ability to respond to challenges.
- Environmental Responsibility
We are environmentally responsible. Ox is committed to sustainability and uses 100% recycled materials in its production process. We strive to reduce our carbon footprint and consumption of natural resources and use safe and sustainable methods of operations.
