Cedar Port Industrial Park, located in Baytown (Texas) is a huge park that offers direct access to the BNSF Railway, Union Pacific Railroad, and a Chambers County Improvement District barge dock situated on Cedar Bayou.
Known as the Gulf Coast’s largest industrial park, Cedar Port has recently sold an existing warehouse spread across 312,000 square feet and 50 acres of land to Venezuela-based PBP Inc.
This South American plastics packaging company provides turnkey packaging, resin bagging, and storage services to the petrochemical industry resins market.
The purchased property is situated on the Grand Parkway’s north side. PBP Inc. plans to add more warehouse space to its 50 acres which will help it expand its operations. Spread across a whopping 10,987 acres, Cedar Port is the 5th largest industrial park in the world.
Interestingly, it is three-fourths the size of Manhattan.
Joel Michael – one of the main partners of NAI that brokered the deal, said that with a huge and regular inflow of plastics into the park via rail, the plastics packaging company will find it easier to implement its expansion plans.
Plastics Packaging Company Joins the Big League in the Industrial Park
PBP Inc. is Cedar Port’s first major tenant after Trans-Global-Solutions (TGS), a Beaumont-based rail company. According to Michael, this deal will be beneficial for Cedar Port as there will be a lot of of increase in rail traffic in the park.
By being Cedar Port’s tenant, the South American plastics packaging company joins the league of major national and international companies with significant operations in the park.
This includes Walmart Stores Inc. based in Arkansas, Atlanta-based Home Depot Inc. which has a 755,000-square-foot distribution centre over there, Houston-based National Oilwell Varco, Turkey- and Istanbul-based Borusan Mannesmann’s steel pipe manufacturing facility, and India-based JSW Steel’s pipe and plate manufacturing facilities.
Last February, TGS announced that it will invest $22 million in infrastructure. This would include expansion of rail lines and operations capability to facilitate the development of the park’s 11,000 acres.
According to William Scott, CEO of TGS, Cedar Port has tremendous growth potential and TGS aims to use it to serve the greater Houston area.

PBP Experiences Several Challenges
Plastic Bagging & Packaging, Inc. (PBP, Inc.) is facing several challenges. One significant problem is the rising cost of raw materials. The crude oil price has been increasing for several years. This increases the cost of plastic bags and packaging.
The packaging company has also been facing increased competition from overseas manufacturers. These companies often have lower manufacturing costs and can sell their products at a lower price.
As a result, PBP, Inc. has been losing market share to these competitors. In addition, PBP, Inc.’s products are subject to strict government regulations. These regulations often make it difficult for the company to innovate and introduce new products to the market.
The company has responded to these challenges by investing in new technologies. These techs allow the company to use less material while still maintaining quality.
PBP also developed new processes that allow us to recycle more of our packaging material, which reduces our environmental impact and keeps costs down. We are proud to say that we are now one of the most efficient and sustainable plastic packaging companies in the world.
Another challenge we have faced is the rise of e-commerce. As more and more people shop online, they are less likely to need or want physical packaging. The plastics packaging company has responded by diversifying its product line and offering packaging solutions for both e-commerce and traditional retail environments.
