The newly constructed Fritz-Pak Corporation headquarters in Mesquite, Texas has been honored with the "2009 Outstanding Project Summit Award" for projects under $5 million for its new Industrial Warehouse / Office Facility.

The Summit Awards are presented yearly by TEXO, the joint North Texas chapters of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) and The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). There were 88 entries for consideration. The winner was chosen by a panel of independent judges from the construction and construction design industries, from universities and from OSHA. There will be an awards presentation banquet in the fall.

Fritz-Pak's new facility was built to Fritz-Pak specifications by Raymond Construction, Dallas, under the Project Management of Brandon Fuller. The project is a tilt up building incorporating many environmentally friendly features such as the use of skylights for natural lighting, Low-E glass to reflect heat and reduce energy consumption, positive air flow ventilation in the warehouse for comfort, concrete floors in the offices, which reduce VOC's and allergens. All landscaping follows xeriscape techniques using drought resistant plants, an important environmental consideration in North Texas.

Fritz-Pak is especially pleased to receive this honor because it reinforces our corporate commitment to environmental responsibility, both in the products we make, and the way we manufacture them.
