Ring announced the opening of their 18th manufacturing plant nationwide, choosing Hagerstown, Maryland as home for their latest expansion. The Hagerstown plant is part of the company’s overall plan for continued strategic growth across the nation.

“Ring Container Technologies is a welcome addition to the County’s vibrant and diversified manufacturing base.
