Reno Facility At-A-Glance

Has Buckeye Corrugated already opened its Reno facility?

Yes. BCI’s Reno operation is already supporting customers as a regional packaging and distribution hub. The upcoming June event marks the official market-facing activation, showcasing expanded capabilities and BCI’s long-term West Coast growth strategy.

Why is BCI expanding to the West Coast now?

Customer demand for faster lead times, localized production, and supply-chain efficiency has increased significantly. The Reno facility allows BCI to better serve both West Coast brands and brands serving the West Coast while maintaining the quality, consistency, and innovation of its national manufacturing network.

Why was Reno chosen for the West Coast expansion?

Reno offers strategic access to major West Coast markets, proximity to key transportation corridors, a growing manufacturing workforce, and a strong logistics ecosystem. It enables BCI to reduce transit times and freight costs while supporting scalable growth.

What capabilities will be available at the Reno facility?

The Reno facility supports corrugated packaging production, retail display assembly, contract packaging, and distribution. It is designed with scalable infrastructure so additional manufacturing capabilities can be brought online as customer demand grows.

How does the Reno facility benefit BCI customers?

Customers benefit from faster speed-to-market, reduced freight costs, localized production, and improved supply-chain resilience — without sacrificing design quality, performance, or consistency across regions.

How is BCI serving West Coast and Northwest customers prior to full production at the Reno facility?

Until manufacturing at the Reno facility is fully online, BCI is producing and shipping West Coast and Northwest orders from its Houston operation. During this interim period, BCI is absorbing the additional freight costs to ensure continuity of service, consistent quality, and reliable delivery for customers as the Reno operation completes its production ramp-up.

How does this expansion support sustainability goals?

Regional manufacturing reduces transportation distance and associated emissions, while BCI continues to focus on right-sized packaging, recyclable materials, and waste reduction strategies across its operations.

Is BCI adding jobs as part of the Reno expansion?

Yes. The Reno facility supports skilled manufacturing and logistics roles, with staffing expected to grow as production capabilities ramp up. BCI views the facility as a long-term investment in the Northern Nevada workforce.

Is this expansion tied to a broader growth strategy?

Yes. The Reno facility is part of BCI’s broader national growth strategy to align manufacturing closer to customers, strengthen regional service capabilities, and support brands operating at scale across multiple markets.

Will BCI continue to manufacture domestically?

Absolutely. BCI remains committed to American Sourced & Made manufacturing. The Reno facility reinforces that commitment by expanding domestic capacity to better serve West Coast customers.

What should media expect from the June Innovation Showcase?

The June event will provide a first-hand look at the Reno facility’s capabilities, customer applications, and BCI’s West Coast strategy. Media will have access to leadership interviews, facility visuals, and insight into how the expansion impacts customers and the regional economy.
