Flexcraft expands national reach with new Fort Worth, TX facility

In today’s manufacturing world, location has become one of the most powerful competitive advantages a brand can have.

For companies in food and beverage, nutraceuticals, supplements, personal care, and specialty goods, the distance between your production line and your packaging supplier can dictate how quickly you launch, how predictably you deliver, and how efficiently you control costs. Packaging is not just a bottle. It is the quiet force that keeps your supply chain moving. When you depend on it, you need a partner who is close enough, capable enough, and ready enough to support your growth without slowing you down.

This is exactly why Flexcraft is expanding into the Southwest. In March 2026, Flexcraft will open a new 194,000 square foot manufacturing and warehousing facility in Fort Worth, Texas. This location brings fully automated bottle and closure production directly to one of the fastest growing manufacturing corridors in the country. For brands in Texas and across the region, it represents a level of access, speed, and supply chain stability that has never been available before.

Many manufacturers across Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin still rely on packaging suppliers located far away. And those long lead times, freight delays, and unpredictable delivery windows often put production at risk. Even when the packaging is technically in stock, the distance creates slowdowns that ripple across an entire operation. A production run stalls. A retailer window tightens. A seasonal launch becomes more costly and stressful than it needs to be. Flexcraft designed the Texas expansion to solve these problems at the source by producing bottles and closures close to the customers who rely on them.

The Fort Worth facility mirrors the advanced capabilities of Flexcraft’s New Jersey operation, but with brand new equipment and a highly efficient layout that allows for even greater speed and consistency. Automation drives every production line. Inline vision inspection verifies the quality of every bottle that leaves the floor. The plant is engineered to support sustainable production as well, with the ability to run up to one hundred percent rPET for customers focused on environmental goals. Most importantly, this facility more than doubles Flexcraft’s overall manufacturing capacity, giving brands in the Southwest dependable access to the packaging they need without waiting for long distance shipments.

But speed alone is never enough. What customers want is the confidence that the quality they approved on day one will be the same quality they receive every time they reorder. The Texas facility delivers that consistency. Because the production lines match the standards of the New Jersey plant, many of Flexcraft’s items can be manufactured in either location. This creates a powerful form of redundancy. If volume spikes, if demand shifts, or if a regional disruption occurs, Flexcraft can keep customers supplied without interruption. For brands that are scaling quickly, launching new products, or operating with tight retailer expectations, that stability becomes an essential advantage rather than a luxury.

The expansion into Texas was not simply a matter of geography. It was a strategic decision that aligns with the way modern manufacturing works. Rising freight costs have made regional supply chains more important than ever. Retailers are rewarding brands that can deliver consistently and respond quickly to changing demand. Manufacturers want to shorten their timelines so that launches, replenishments, and production runs remain in sync with market needs. By placing a facility inside the region where these pressures are most intense, Flexcraft is giving customers the ability to move faster and with greater confidence.

The Fort Worth location will initially support the spice category, marking the first product line to launch from the facility. Spice brands gain a reliable, domestic source of PET bottles and closures that reduces long-haul shipping and helps maintain steady production and on-shelf availability. The facility also serves adjacent food and beverage companies, providing dependable access to PET juice bottles and other category-specific packaging without the logistics friction that can slow operations. Nutraceutical and supplement brands benefit from shorter replenishment cycles for containers and closures, supporting availability during peak demand periods. Personal care and household goods brands receive consistent, crystal-clear PET that delivers strong shelf appeal and supply reliability. And with significant warehouse capacity and room to add additional production lines, Flexcraft is well positioned to support large programs that require both scale and responsiveness.

This expansion is more than a building, it’s a visible expression of Flexcraft’s long term commitment to growth and reliable service. The company has always believed that customers should never have to compromise between speed and quality. The Texas facility makes that belief real by giving the region a partner that is close by and prepared to meet demand with confidence.

The bottom line is simple. When your packaging partner is closer, your supply chain becomes stronger. Production schedules become easier to manage. Freight costs become more predictable. Inventory becomes more accessible. Quality becomes more consistent. And your business gains the momentum it needs to stay competitive in a market.

Flexcraft’s new Fort Worth facility brings all of this together for brands throughout the Southwest. If your business is expanding, struggling with long lead times, or preparing for a major launch, now is the time to explore how this regional presence can support your growth.

Dependable by Design is not just a tagline, it’s the way we operate. And now, it’s a way we can be even closer to the customers who depend on us.
