Hotpack CEO & managing director Abdul Jebbar said: "We are proud to establish a manufacturing presence in New Jersey as this expansion marks a significant milestone for the company. This investment reflects our dedication to better serving our clients in the US market and contributes to the local economy through job creation and advanced manufacturing capabilities. The initial phase of this project is projected to create up to 200 new jobs within five years.

'Hotpack's decision to expand its presence in New Jersey is a powerful endorsement of our state's strategic location, skilled workforce, and robust infrastructure. With this announcement, New Jersey continues to prove itself as a top destination for global companies looking to grow and innovate in the United States,' Murphy remarked.
