Abbott-Action’s strong relationship with NewCorr Packaging, a leader in the corrugated materials industry, is driving efficiency and market agility. Abbott-Action holds a one-sixth stake in NewCorr, giving us consistent access to high-quality corrugated material and making us quicker to market—advantages we are happy to pass on to our customers.

A Reliable Source of Corrugated Material

One of the significant benefits of Abbott-Action’s relationship with NewCorr is the guaranteed supply of corrugated material. NewCorr, located in Northboro, MA, is New England’s largest independent sheet feeder, and its impressive capabilities—powered by two corrugators under one roof—ensure a steady and reliable supply source.

NewCorr’s facilities produce a wide variety of materials, including E, B, and C flutes, along with double-wall options, all made using high-quality liners and mediums. With over 99% uptime across its two corrugators, NewCorr helps Abbott-Action consistently meet its material needs without the uncertainty faced by others in the industry.

A Faster Path to Market

The ability to quickly access the specific types of corrugated material required is critical in industries where speed to market can be a significant competitive advantage. In particular, NewCorr’s operational efficiency is evident in its approach to specialized materials like E-flute. Many manufacturers, for instance, only run E-flute once a month, meaning that customers could face delays if an order doesn’t align with the production schedule. With its stake in NewCorr, Abbott-Action avoids this issue, bypassing common delays and ensuring that the materials needed are always available when required.

The Power of Partnership

Beyond logistics and material supply, Abbott-Action’s relationship with NewCorr also highlights the advantages of strategic partnerships in the supply chain. With NewCorr’s continuous investment in technology and infrastructure, including recent expansions to increase production space and enhance delivery capabilities, Abbott-Action benefits from faster lead times and improved product quality.

NewCorr’s additional receiving doors, expanded rail-side capabilities, and climate-controlled dehumidification ensure that Abbott-Action receives materials in the best condition, minimizing the chances of supply chain disruptions and allowing for quick, seamless production.
