PACK

Ranpak Holdings Corp.

A maker of recyclable paper protective packaging, Ranpak produces machines and consumables under brands like FillPak, PadPak, WrapPak, and Geami that cushion goods in shipping boxes, used by e-commerce and industrial shippers. Founded in 1972 in Painesville, Ohio, the company grew from George Johnson's 1970 patent for a machine that crinkled kraft paper into padding for automotive parts. The name "Ranpak" is short for "Random Packaging," and its paper pads are made substantially from recycled pulp.
