USA – Flexcon, a leading provider of reusable packaging solutions, has named Morgan Ebin as its new chief operations officer. 

Ebin steps into the role with over 25 years of hands-on experience in operational management. His most recent position was as COO at 44 Maple Group, the parent organization of Flexcon. 

Before that, he served in senior roles at Arlon, including as chief manufacturing officer.

According to Ebin, efforts will target efficiency gains, suitable global process expansions, and consistent solution delivery.

He emphasized blending strong operations with client priorities to support steady expansion.

Ebin’s expertise extends to safety and quality protocols, critical for reusable packaging that must withstand repeated use without environmental harm. 

Flexcon operates facilities across North America, serving a client base that includes major manufacturers aiming to lower their carbon footprint. 

Under Ebin’s oversight, the company plans to refine supply chain logistics, potentially reducing transport emissions through optimized routing.

Flexcon’s strategy includes investing US$10 million over the next two years in automation for its reusable systems, aiming to boost throughput by 20%. Ebin’s role will oversee this rollout, ensuring seamless integration.
