A large crowd

of employees, friends, and family turned out for the opening ceremony

including many of ULMA's oversees managers and division heads. ULMA Packaging

is a wholly owned subsidiary of ULMA CyE S. Coop.

An ISO 9001

manufacturer, and one of the worlds largest suppliers of flexible packaging

machinery, headquartered in Onati, Spain. ULMA Packaging began direct

operations in the United States from leased office and warehouse space

in Woodstock in July of 1996.

The new 20,000-square-foot

facility will support their customers and nation wide sales and service

agents throughout Canada, the United States, and the Caribbean. "Due

to continued growth the new facility is necessary to enhance our capability

to service our customers and continue our growth into the future,"

said ULMA vice president Harvey Fine.

"The integrity

and professionalism shown by the Group IV team has been outstanding and

it has been my pleasure to work with their team on this project,"

added ULMA vice president Bill Chastain. "From the beginning of this

project working through the design and bid process, to the final phases,

we have been able to discuss any difficulties or problems incurred, work

together in a professional manner to find solutions, and forge forward

toward our common goal of constructing a building that meets ULMA's requirements.

Group VI's efforts and willingness to 'go the extra mile' to satisfy the

customer has made this a very enjoyable and rewarding experience."

The facility's

20,000-square-foot layout features a high bay warehouse area and 7,400-square-feet

of customized office space. The warehouse space has a 24' ceiling height.

The building exterior consists of pre-cast concrete which provides an

attractive facility with low maintenance costs. The 5.21-acre site allows

for future building and parking expansion.

Group VI, a

full-service construction, development and real estate firm headquartered

in Peachtree City, has completed numerous office, medical, industrial,

religious and commercial projects throughout the Southeast and currently

has active projects in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina. For more information
