A corrugated packaging manufacturer's full-line plant in Burlington, Wisconsin added ten water and ice units across its Pine Street facility, covering a large production workforce and office staff with purified water and on-demand ice at stations throughout the building.
Zach Rambo placed eight M6 bottleless water coolers, one HID A-315 water and ice dispenser, and one S3 bottleless water cooler at the plant.
The Plant
The Burlington facility is a full-line corrugated packaging plant, meaning it runs the complete production cycle from raw containerboard through finished corrugated boxes and displays. Packaging Corporation of America operates more than 120 facilities across the United States, including nine containerboard mills, and the Burlington plant serves customers in southeastern Wisconsin and the broader Great Lakes region.
Full-line corrugated plants run heavy converting equipment — large rotary die cutters, flexographic printing presses, slotters, and folder-gluers operating across production shifts. The workforce covers machine operators, maintenance technicians, material handlers, and quality control staff moving through a facility that does not slow down between orders.
A manufacturing plant of this scale, running continuous production shifts, needs water access distributed across the floor. Routing the whole crew to a single break room cooler creates gaps during shift changes and peak production windows.
Ten Units Across the Building
Eight M6 countertop units spread purified hot and cold water across the plant's work zones. Each connects directly to the water line and filters at the point of use, putting clean water within reach of the production floor, break areas, and support spaces without consolidating demand at one station.
The HID A-315 covers a higher-demand zone with both purified water and nugget ice from a single floor-standing unit. For a shift crew coming off a hot press line or a long material handling run, having ice available at that station matters.
The S3 handles a smaller, lower-traffic space — an office area or secondary break room — where a compact countertop unit fits the footprint without over-speccing the zone.
Zach Rambo assessed the layout and matched unit types to demand across the building. Bottleless Nation manages filter maintenance on a set schedule, and the Milwaukee area team handles local service for the Burlington plant.
