The Northeast Pennsylvania Manufacturers and Employers Association recently awarded Clearly Clean Products, an Orwigsburg-based recyclable rolled-edge tray packaging company, with the Manufacturers and Employers Excellence Award for Expansion and named it the fastest-growing manufacturer in Northeast Pennsylvania.
This is the third year Clearly Clean has received the expansion award, which recognizes significant growth in sales, production lines, offerings, and employees.
Clearly Clean grew its employee base by 30 percent in 2022 and added new clients, product offerings, and machines.
The growth is fueled by increased demand for eco-friendly/recyclable packaging, bans throughout the country on polystyrene, and corporate ESG (environmental, social, and governance) commitments.
“We’re so excited to be recognized again for our rapid growth,” Jeff Maguire, Clearly Clean president, said. “Our recyclable food trays are quickly replacing foamed trays in every grocery store in the country – with even more growth on the horizon. We’re thankful to have the most experience in this space, open capacity to take advantage of future growth, and the largest assortment of tray sizes in the industry.”
An awards ceremony was held on May 2. Clearly Clean received citations from the National Association of Manufacturers and the Pennsylvania Manufacturers’ Association, Schuylkill County Commissioners, state senators, and U.S. Rep. Daniel Meuser (R-PA).
