Field Trip to Huhtamaki

I was really excited to visit Huhtamaki because it is located off of the highway I take to get to and from KU, and I have always been curious as to what their company does.  When we went on our field trip, I found out that Huhtamaki is the leading manufacture of consumers for packaging. They manufacture packaging such as ice cream cartons, cups, to-go boxes, and more for many well-known companies in the U.S.  I was surprised at how large their factory was and the level of technology they had.  I thought their machines that put together the Ben and Jerry's ice cream cups was cool because it worked at incredibly fast speeds, and I also really liked how they tested all of their coffee cups with hot coffee to make sure they were manufactured correctly. Huhtamaki distributes their products nationwide, and it is neat to know they are located right in town.
