From pioneering the automatic poly-bagging machine in the 1960s to becoming a fully owned subsidiary of Fuji Machinery Co. in 2018, Formost Fuji has always been at the forefront of packaging innovation. Their new facility in Everett, WA, is a testament to both their continued growth and their unwavering commitment to quality and design, values that closely align with the pursuit of high-performance, energy-efficient building materials and a shared focus on advanced engineering. To support the project’s performance and efficiency goals, CHG Building Systems selected insulated metal panels from All Weather Insulated Panels, utilizing both the DM40 and HE40 wall systems. In a packaging facility like Formost Fuji’s, where operational precision and durability are essential, these panels provide robust construction and low maintenance, contributing to long-term reliability and overall project success.

According to Ryan Grouws, Project Manager and Safety Director at CHG Building Systems, Inc., the panels played a crucial role in meeting the project’s goals: “All Weather Insulated Panels delivered consistent thermal efficiency and robust structural strength, meeting the operational demands of the Formost Fuji facility while minimizing energy use and maintaining thermal integrity.” Additionally, their structural strength and durability make them well-suited for the high-traffic, high demand nature of industrial operations, ensuring the facility is built to perform as reliably as the systems it houses. The combination of DM40 and HE40 panels contributed to a streamlined construction process and a visually unified exterior that reflects Formost Fuji’s forward-thinking identity. The panels provided not only long-term durability and low maintenance but also helped reinforce the brand’s focus on precision and performance.
