Paragon Films, a leading manufacturer of ultra-high performance, sustainability-focused stretch films, has unveiled plans to expand manufacturing operations into Mexico. The expansion will include purchasing a new facility in San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and installing Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H) manufacturing machinery, further enhancing Paragon Films’ production capabilities and market reach.

The new plant in Mexico is the latest phase in Paragon Films’ strategic expansion in North America. Adding to current facilities located in Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Washington, the new facility will service Mexico, Central America, and South America.

“We are thrilled to expand our operations into Mexico,” said Paragon Films CEO Darin Tang. “This new facility will not only allow us to better serve our growing customer base but also demonstrates our dedication to investing in the latest W&H technology to maintain our position as an industry leader.”

“W&H is excited to support Paragon Films in enhancing its position within the stretch film industry,” said Andrew Wheeler, president of W&H in North America.

The expansion is expected to contribute to the local economy through the creation of numerous job opportunities in the region. Paragon Films also plans to implement environmentally conscious practices in the new plant to support the company’s commitment to sustainability. The plant is expected to be fully operational in December 2025.
