Bethlehem, PA — October 6, 2025 — Ecopax, LLC, a leading manufacturer of sustainable food packaging solutions, is expanding its operations in the Lehigh Valley with a new 104,238-square-foot manufacturing facility at 1355 Easton Road in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The project is being developed by J.G. Petrucci Company, Inc., one of the region’s premier development and design/build firms.
This marks the second collaboration between Ecopax and Petrucci, following the successful delivery of Ecopax’s 100,000-square-foot Easton headquarters in 2006. The new facility, located at Lehigh Valley Industrial Park (LVIP) Lot 53, will support Ecopax’s continued growth and increased demand for its eco-friendly food packaging products, including takeout containers, cups, and bowls designed to minimize environmental impact.
The expansion will complement Ecopax’s existing 315,643-square-foot manufacturing and warehousing space, adding six loading docks, additional truck parking, and upgraded fire protection infrastructure.

“Ecopax is committed to growing our sustainable manufacturing capabilities right here in the Lehigh Valley,” added Peter Wong, Founder of Ecopax. “Petrucci built our first plant in Easton, and we’re confident they’ll continue to deliver excellence with this expansion.”
